	Grandma's Potato Latkes (Pancakes for those not in the know)

2 eggs
1 small onion
1 teaspoon salt
2 T flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups grated potatoes

Grate the potatoes using a food grater or food processor. Be careful
not to reduce them to mush. You want some substance here! Grate the
onion into the potatoes. Mix together. Mix the rest of the ingredients
into the potatoes. Heat oil (Grandma uses chicken fat; but corn oil
will work just as well) in a skillet over medium heat. Place globs
of potato mixture in skillet and smush down into pancakes. Cook
until golden brown and crisy. Flip and do the same thing on the other
side. Remove and drain. Serve with applesauce or ketchup.

A note: don't skimp on the oil. You need a lot of it. It's kind of like
french fries. Obviously you don't want to submerge the pancakes, but
you don't want a thin coating of oil either. Don't worry about the
calories. If you have to worry, you shouldn't be eating these in the
first place!
