Potato & Onion Cakes

3 potatoes, shredded

½ onion, shredded

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ Tbs. Salt (or to taste)

1 egg

½ Tbs. Ground Black Pepper

pinch of baking soda

about 1-2 cups of water

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients well to combine.
2. Batter needs to be like pancake batter but a bit thicker and of course chunky because of the potatoes and onions.
3. Use about 1 cup of any oil on hand and make it hot.
4. Grab the batter with a big (soup)spoon and drop in the hot oil-when the oil is hot turn the heat down a bit.
5. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside of the cakes is golden brown.
6. Take them out and drain on a paper towel.
7. Eat hot, with this salad on the side or you can also use sour cream, cream cheese or any of your favorite cheeses.
