Ingredients
- 2 cups grated potato
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- Onion Juice
Directions
Scrub and pare the potatoes and grate them into cold water to keep them from discoloring. Drain well and to every two cups of potato allow one beaten egg, two tablespoons of flour and sufficient milk to make a stiff batter. Season with salt, pepper and onion-juice [to taste]. Cook in a frying-pan with hot fat to the depth of about one-half inch. A large spoonful of batter makes a good-sized cake. Cook until well brown and crisp.
SERVING
Serve as a vegetable with meat and gravy. Especially good with a stew.
