Grandma's Potato Pancakes

Grandmas's Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

2 eggs or equivalent egg replacer
1/2 small onion
1 tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. of baking powder
4 large, white potatoes
Earth Balance Natural Shortening

How we make it

Have a griddle warming up while you
prepare the pancake mixture.

Put onion and potatoes in a food
processor on "shred" or a blender.
Shred the onion and potatoes to a
"stringy" formation *.

Put shredded onion and potatoes in
a large mixing bowl. Add in the flour,
baking powder, sea salt and eggs.
Mix together thoroughly using your hands.

Scoop out a handful at a time and pat
the mixture into flat "pancakes".

Heat the griddle to the max and then
"grease it well with the shortening.

Place each pancake on the griddle and
fry until golden brown.Drain on absorbent
paper if necessary.

* We prefer to use a food processor to get
the potatoes to a "stringy", coarse form. A
blender will work but the pancakes will be
more of a "batter" type consistency.

This recipe can be made vegan by using the egg
replacers.

Yields about 10 - 12 pancakes
