Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Medium potatoes
1 Onion
2 Eggs
1/2 c Flour
1 t Salt
Vegetable shortening or
Oil for frying

Pare and grate potatoes into a mixing bowl. Squeeze
out liquid. Peel and grate onion into potatoes. Add
eggs, flour, and salt and stir to make a smooth batter
that will drop heavily from the spoon. Heap the
shortening in a heavy frying pan using enough to cover
the pancakes amply. Drop the batter from a spoon into
the hot shortening, making pancakes 3 inches in
diameter. Fry over moderate heat until brown on the
underside, turn to brown. Life out and drain off
excess fat on paper towel. Pancakes fried in deep fat
should be puffed and crisp. These pancakes may also be
baked in a shallow baking pan for 45 minutes at 350F
until nicely browned. Cut into squares and serve hot.
They may also be put into a well greased small muffin
pan and baked 45 minutes at 350F.
