Potato Pancake
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes
1 medium onion
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Grate potatoes and onion. Transfer to colander and squeeze mixture to press out as much liquid as possible.
2. In a large bowl, mix egg, salt, pepper, flour and baking powder. Add potato and onions, and mix well.
3. Heat oil in a deep, heavy skillet.
4. Drop about 2 tablespoons of potato mixture into the pan for each pancake. Flatten with back of spoon so each pancake is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.
5. Fry over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Turn carefully with 2 spatulas so oil does not splatter. 6. Drain on paper towels.
6. Before frying each new batch, stir potato mixture. If all the oil is absorbed, add a little more to the pan.
