Potato Latkes or called Pancakes

[Hj]

2 lbs. potatoes peel grate
2 large eggs
Green onion diced fine
Salt- pepper- garlic granular to taste
Accent to taste (optional
Oil for frying

Peel finely grate potatoes-placing them straight into cold water- drain- squeeze them
as dry as possible- pressing with hands in a colander. Helps remove a lot of starch in potatoes
ñ makes latkes soggy.
Beat eggs lightly with seasonings- add to diced onions ñ potatoes-stir well.
Film bottom of frying pan with oil and heat.
Use as about 1/4 c. mixture n drop into hot oil.
Flatten a little- lower heat so latkes cook through evenly.
When one side is brown- turn over ñ brown other.
Lift out - serve very hot.

Note~ Adding 4 T. flour -binds latkes into firmer- more compact cakes-
easier to handle. Make them little hotter -add little cayenne pepper
Fry in bacon grease for a great taste.
