This is another one from my Bubby. Galicianers made this for Friday lunch, while preparing Shabbos, because it's easy and parve. It's like a lighter latke, so I like to make it on Chanuka. Goes well with sour cream on top or just a sprinkle of sugar or jam, and a salad on the side.
Ingredients:
5 potatoes
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons oil
1/3 yeast cube
2 tablespoons salt
2 eggs
Directions:
1. finely grate the potatoes& sprinkle salt over them.
2. sprinkle the flour over potatoes to absorb the liquids.
3. Once liquids are absorbed, add 2 tablespoons of oil.
4. in a small bowl, put yeast, 2 tablespoons warm water, and 2 tablespoons of salt to create a yeasty mixture.
5. mix everything together along with eggs.
6. let rise for 1/2 hour.
7. fry in shallow oil-let the mixture fill the pan, to make big fluffy pancakes.
