Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes, peeled, cut in quarters lengthwise, and reserved in cold water
2 ½ tsp salt
3/4 cup corn oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large egg
2 tbs. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Heat the oven to 250°F.
Grate potatoes until fine. Boil potatoes until soft. Drain and leave in colander to continue draining for 10 minutes, sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and toss occasionally.
Meanwhile, Add 1 Tbs. of the oil and the onion, egg, flour, Baking Powder, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, mix well together.
Add the potatoes in the with the other ingredients and mix. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
In a skillet, heat 1/8 inch oil over medium heat until hot. Ladle four mounds of the potato mixture into the oil and spread them slightly with the back of the spoon until they are about 3 inches in diameter. (The oil should be bubbling gently around the pancakes.) Cook until the pancakes are a deep golden colour, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over and continue to cook until the second side is a deep golden colour, about 2 minutes more. Remove from pan and sprinkle lightly with salt. Keep them warm in the oven while you finish the rest. Continue to add oil between batches.
Serve with a cooling sour cream dip!
