RUTHANNE'S POTATO PANCAKES 
4 large potatoes
1 medium onion
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil, for frying (I use Mazola)

Grate the potatoes in a bowl, drain off any excess liquid. Grate the onion into the potato mixture. Add egg, salt and pepper and stir lightly. Gradually add the flour, mixing well.

In a large fry pan, add the vegetable oil and allow to heat until a little drop of dough dropped in the pan starts to fry. Drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoons, carefully into the oil, level off to a pancake, but not too thin. Keep the heat on medium. When the edges of the pancake start to brown, turn over, using a fork. When final side is browned, remove onto paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Note: If potato mixture thins out while waiting for the cakes in the fry pan to brown, add a little more flour.

Enjoy topped with some dairy sour cream or applesauce!

This is an amazing recipe! I have made it several times and I love that you can make these ahead of time. The pancakes are perfect for breakfast or lunch, they keep well and are easy to store in the fridge. I like to add a little bit of cheddar cheese to mine, but that is just me.
