Potato Latkes

From "Second Helpings, Please" published by Montreal B'nai B'rith 1968:

6 potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, grated
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
¼ cup flour
1 Tbsp oil
2 tsp baking powder
(Oil for frying)

Grate potatoes and drain well. Blend in remaining ingredients. Drop from a spoon into hot oil in a frying pan and brown on both sides, turning only once. Yield: about 2 dozen latkes of 3” diameter, depending on the size of the potatoes.

Serve with your favourite toppings (sour cream, yogurt, fruit) or enjoy plain with butter as a side dish. Our kids prefer these if the onions are 'invisible' - you can put the onions and potatoes through the food processer if you wish.
