Serves/Makes:4

Ingredients

• 4 med. baking potatoes - peeled
• 1 med onion-grated
• 1 large egg
• a few tbsp of flour
• 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
• white pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking powder
• pinch nutmeg
• butter for frying (or oil if you want but not nearly as good)

Preparation

• Grate potatoes and drain in a sieve.
• Combine onion and potato in a bowl. Add baking powder, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix.
• Add just enough flour to make a mix thick enough to hold it's shape.
• Heat butter in a large pan over medium heat. Fry spoonfuls of batter until brown on each side. Don't crowd them.
• Drain on papper towels.
• (This recipe is really good with sweet potatoes, too. In that case, add 1 tbsp (15 ml) of fresh thyme)
