INGREDIENTS

3 lbs potatoes peeled

1 large onion, quartered

3 eggs, beaten

1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon parsley

 

Cover the potatoes in cold water until ready to grate in the food processor.

Shred the potatoes and onion in the food processor using the medium shredding blade.

Dry the potatoes and onion between paper towels. Combine the potato mixture, eggs, flour, baking powder, parsley, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Heat 1/8 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet until hot. Pour in 1/3 cup potato mixture, flattening with the back of a wooden spoon, and fry for 3 minutes per side, or until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Keep warm in a 100°F oven after draining on paper towels.

Pair with applesauce.
