INGREDIENTS
- 5 potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oil
DIRECTIONS
- Peal the potatoes and the onion.
- Grate the potatoes and the onion on the finest side of a grater.
- This should result in a mushy mixture that has no lumps.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg, and then add it to the potato and onion mixture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon of each)
- Stir in the flour.
- Heat enough oil in a frying pan to generously cover the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, using a ladle, poor mixture into the the pan. About half a ladle equals one pancake.
