To make a dozen, grate 6 large potatoes coarsely into a bowl of water. Drain when you are ready to fry the pancakes, and squeeze as much moisture out by putting them in a towel. Beat 2 eggs and add 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Add flour mixture to the potato along with 1 teaspoon grated onion. Fry the batter by spoonfuls in about 1/4 inch hot fat, turn and brown the other side.
