Ingredients
Yield:4 to 6 servings
- 1medium yellow onion diced small (about 1¼ cups)
- 1egg
- 3large russet baking potatoes, peeled, diced small (about 4 cups)
- 5 to 7tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable shortening for frying
Preparation
- Step 1
Blend the onion and egg in a blender until they are liquified. Add about a third of the potato cubes and blend very quickly, just until lumps disappear.
- Step 2
Add the rest of the potato cubes and stir them into the puree. Blend quickly to eliminate all lumps but do not puree for more than a minute. If you have to do this blending in batches, remove half the potato batter, add the rest of the cubes and puree quickly, and combine with the rest of the batter.
- Step 3
Pour all into a bowl and add the flour and salt and pepper. If the batter is very wet, blot the top with a towel until most of the water is eliminated.
- Step 4
To fry the pancakes, heat a heavy deep pan and melt the shortening to about a half-inch in depth.
- Step 5
When shortening is very hot, drop large spoonfuls of batter into the hot fat and allow the pancakes to brown on one side. Then turn them over very carefully and brown them on the other side.
- Step 6
Drain pancakes on paper towels. Serve immediately. If you are frying these in batches, keep them warm in a moderate oven for no more than 15 minutes.

My German grandma used leftover mashed potatoes added the egg a dash of flour and extra freshly ground pepper.
Still a fav with all of us descendants!

1 1/4 cups of onion requires a large onion.

I eel and slice my potatoes and set aside in cold water. Then I in my food processer I pulse chopped onions with eggs and set aside in large. Bowl. I then grated the potatoes in the processer and strain mixture to remove liquid before incorporating with onion egg mixture. This prevents potatoes from turning brown.
