Potato Pancakes

Hi everyone! Stephanie here sharing another one of my favorite recipes. It can either be served as a side dish or an appetizer depending on the size you make them. I always have fun making these cause potatoes are so versatile that anything can be made with them from sweet to savory. What I also like about this is that the base of the recipe works for any type of vegetable. Don't want regular potatoes? Go with sweet potato. Not a fan of sweet potato? How about some zucchini or carrots. Want to go for a bit more of a Spanish style, make it plantain cakes.

The main thing to always remember, have fun while cooking.

Potato Cakes

Ingredients: *TT- to taste

• 1 lb of potatoes
• 1 eggs, beaten
• 4 oz onion, minced
• 1 oz flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• salt and pepper TT

Procedure:

1. Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes.
2. Transfer the grated potatoes to a bowl and add the eggs, onion, flour and baking powder.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat the oil. Form potato mix into uniform-sized pancakes and pan-fry them until tender, turning once when welled brown on the first side. 
5. Remove from pan and drain well.

 Very simple and you can always make them smaller as appetizers and  get creative with toppings.

What I like to do is form them into balls so they are easier to handle and when I put them on the pan, I will press down with a spatula to get the shape.
