  Categories: Potatoes
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       6    Medium potatoes
       1    Onion
       2    Eggs
     1/2 c  Flour
       1 ts Salt
            Vegetable shortening or
            Oil for frying
  
   Pare and grate potatoes into a mixing bowl.  Squeeze out liquid. Peel
   and grate onion into potatoes.  Add eggs, flour, and salt and stir to
   make a smooth batter that will drop heavily from the spoon. Heap the
   shortening in a heavy frying pan using enough to cover the pancakes
   amply. Drop the batter from a spoon into the hot shortening, making
   pancakes 3 inches in diameter. Fry over moderate heat until brown on
   the underside, turn to brown.  Life out and drain off excess fat on
   paper towel. Pancakes fried in deep fat should be puffed and crisp.
   These pancakes may also be baked in a shallow baking pan for 45
   minutes at 350F until nicely browned. Cut into squares and serve hot.
   They may also be put into a well greased small muffin pan and baked
   45 minutes at 350F.
