Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Potatoes (about 1.25 lbs)
Salt to taste
1 tb Butter
1/3 c Half-and-half
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 c Flour
1/4 c Finely chopped onion
1/2 ts Minced garlic
2 tb Finely chopped parsley
Freshly ground pepper to
Taste
2 tb Vegetable oil

Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add cold water to
cover and salt. Bring to the boil and cook until
tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and peel the potatoes
and put them through a food mill or potato ricer. In a
mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, butter,
half-and-half, eggs, flour, onion, garlic, parsley,
salt and pepper. Blend well. Heat the oil in a
skillet, preferably nonstick. Spoon potato mixture
into mounds and flatten to make patty shape. Cook 3
to 4 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Turn
and cook 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until
golden brown. Do not overcook or pancakes will be dry
to the taste. Serve hot.
