Recipe: Potato Latkes

Potato Pancakes aka Latkes

3 medium potatoes

1/2 a small onion

1/4 cup of flour

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper (I use black because I don't have white pepper.)

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons parsley.

Grate potatoes and onion in a bowl of cold water. Drain, place them in a towel and pat and then wring them dry. Add rest of ingredients and fry in a goodly amount of oil. Drop them by the spoonful into the hot oil. Cook until very brown then turn.

I find about 20 minutes per side on medium heat works best.
