> 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

> will work just as well) in a skillet over medium heat. Place globs

Hint: Before placing them into the pan squeeze out some of the
water to reduce splattering.
