Steps:

• Peel and grate potatoes (or use frozen or refrigerated hashbrowns). Place the grated potatoes in a clean dishcloth or cheesecloth and squeeze the liquid out of them into a bowl. Let the liquid stand a few minutes, then drain the liquid, leaving potato starch at the bottom of the bowl. Add the potatoes.
• Grate the onion over the potatoes. Add dried onion flakes for part or all of the onion, if you like. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and egg. Mix thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a frying pan. You can use a non-stick pan and just a few drops of oil, if you wish, but for best results use 1/8 to 1/4 inch of oil.
• Using about 1/2 cup, drop the potato mixture into hot oil and flatten with the back of a spoon. Fry 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with applesauce and maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Process eggs, onion, baking powder, salt, and pepper in blender until smooth. Stop to scrape down sides.
• Gradually add potato and flour, processing until thickened.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into a hot, lightly greased nonstick skillet.
• Cook over medium-high heat 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned.
• Dollop with sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat together eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in potatoes and onion.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet. Press to flatten. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Grate the potatoes.
• I do two on the very fine side and one on the coarser side for the best texture.
• They may turn brown.
• Squeeze out the excess liquid.
• Grate the onion on the finest side and add.
• Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat a generous amount of oil (about a half inch deep) in a heavy skillet.
• Drop the mixture in by spoonfuls.
• The tops will get slightly drier and you will see browned edges.
• When this happens flip the pancakes CAREFULLY.
• Serve on their own, or with applesauce or sour cream.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and finely grate. Set grated potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel, twist to close, and press most of the liquid out of the potatoes, leaving only a little moisture.
• Mix pressed potatoes, onion, egg, and oats in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet. Shape small potato pancakes with 2 spoons out of the potato mixture and set into the hot oil. Bake in batches until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side, adding more oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the mashed potatoes with the lemon juice and stir well.
• In a dry bowl, combine the onion, caraway seeds, fresh parsley, flour, egg and milk.
• Stir in potatoes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Over medium heat, melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter in a wide frying pan.
• When butter starts to foam add about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, spreading into a 4 inch pancake. Repeat to make 2 or 3 more cakes, enough to fill the pan but not overcrowd.
• Cook, turn once, until golden brown on both sides about 5 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed to fry pancakes.
• Using a wide spatula, lift pancakes from pan and transfer to warming tray in low oven at 200 degrees. Continue cooking remainder of potato mixture.
• Keep warm until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and top with sour cream if desired.
