LATKES - POTATO PANCAKES - 1

Jewish Chanuka tradition!



INGREDIENTS:

      4    Potatoes - peeled
      1 sm Onion
      2    Eggs
      1/3 c  Flour
      1 ts Baking powder
      1 ts Salt
      1 pn Lemon pepper or pepper 
      oil - for frying
  
Grate potatoes either using the largest holes on a four-sided hand
grater,  or the grater attachment on a food processor.  Place potatoes in a
colander and rinse under cold water to remove the starch.  Be sure to allow potatoes
to drain well.  Grate onion, removing any excess moisture by placing in
colander and pressing with the back of a wooden spoon. Combine potato and
onion.  Beat eggs into mixture; stir in flour, baking powder, salt and
pepper.  If using a food processor, combine ingredients using plastic knife
attachment so potatoes remain in grated pieces. Heat 1/8" of oil in a
large skillet.  For each pancake, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the
oil and flatten with the back of a wooden spoon; the flatter the pancake,
the crisper it will be. Brown well on both sides. Drain well on paper
towels.  Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a 100 F oven. Serve with Pink Cinnamon
Applesauce (see recipe) and/or sour cream. Makes about 2 dozen regular
size or 5 dozen miniatures.  Pancakes may be made ahead of time and refrigerated
between layers of waxed paper when cooled. To reheat, place in a single
layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake uncovered at 450 F for 5 minutes,
or until crisp and hot.
