Categories     Pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
2 eggs
1/3 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
pinch lemon pepper or pepper
oil

Steps:

  • 1. Grate potatoes either using the largest holes on a four-sided hand grater, or the grater attachment on a food processor.
  • 2. Place potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water to remove the starch and be sure to allow potatoes to drain well.
  • 3. Grate onion, removing any excess moisture by placing in colander and pressing with the back of a wooden spoon.
  • 4. Combine potato and onion.
  • 5. Beat eggs into mixture; stir in flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
  • 6. If using a food processor, combine ingredients using plastic knife attachment so potatoes remain in grated pieces.
  • 7. Heat 1/8\\\" of oil in a large skillet.
  • 8. For each pancake, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the oil and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon; the flatter the pancake, the crisper it will be.
  • 9. Brown well on both sides.
  • 10. Drain well on paper towels.
  • 11. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a 100 degree oven.
  • 12. Serve with pink cinnamon applesauce (see recipe) and/or sour cream.
  • 13. Makes about 2 dozen regular size or 5 dozen miniatures.
  • 14. Pancakes may be made ahead of time and refrigerated between layers of waxed paper when cooled.
  • 15. To reheat, place in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 16. Bake uncovered at 450 for 5 minutes, or until crisp and hot.

These pancakes were a lot of work to make, and they didn't taste all that great. I wouldn't make them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pancakes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These pancakes were a little bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

I've never been a big fan of latkes, but these were really good. I especially liked the crispy edges.

I've made latkes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The pancakes were so light and airy, and they had the perfect amount of crunch.

These potato pancakes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
