Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

Serves/Makes:4 entree-2x as many appetizers

4or more potatoes (2 cups (475 ml) grated) 
1/2 onion, grated 
2 eggs 
1 tbsp (15 ml) flour 
1 tsp (5 ml) salt 
1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper 
2 tbsp (30 ml) parsley (optional) 
1/4 tsp (1 ml) nutmeg (optional) 

Instructions

Mix all ingredients. Heat frying pan (I use my iron one for this) with shortening. It is nice to add a little bacon grease for flavor. Drop large spoonfuls of potato mixture into the pan and brown the pancakes over medium heat. Turn to brown on the other side. Drain well on paper towels. TO MAKE AHEAD: Reheat the pancakes on a large cookie sheet at 375 degrees (200 C.) until very hot. TO FREEZE: Freeze in container (foil pie pans are ideal) between layers of saran. Defrost then reheat as above.
