Potato pancakes w/applesauce

8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 mediums Baking potatoes
2 Eggs
¼ cup Finely grated onion
⅓ cup Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
Bacon fat or lard
Applesauce

Directions

Peel potatoes, drop into cold water. In large mixing bowl, beat eggs enough to break them up; add onion & gradually beat in flour & salt. Pat potatoes dry one at a time & grate coarsely into sieve or colander. Press each potato firmly into sieve to squeeze out water; stir into egg & onion batter immediately. Preheat oven to 250. In heavy 8-10 inch skillet, melt 8 Tbs bacon fat over high heat until it splutters. Pour in ½ cup of potato mixture; with large spatula, flatten into pancake about 5-inch in diameter.

Fry over medium heat 2 minutes on each side. When golden brown on each side & edges crispy, transfer to heated plate & keep warm in oven. Continue making pancakes, add more fat if necessary to keep depth of ¼ inch. Serve as soon as possible with applesauce or ligonberry preserves.
