Steps:
- 1. Put potatoes in blender or processor and turn to a pulpy consistancy. Add onion and seasoning and blend. Add egg and flour. Mix should be gooey and not fall apart easy. If not gooey add second egg. Add more flour for binding if needed. Mix should drop from spoon not pour from it.
- 2. Heat oil in fry pan and when water beads when dropped in, add mix by large tablespoonfuls to oil. Cook until crispy on one side, then flip over and do the same on other side. (about five or six minutes each side)
- 3. Transfer to plate with paper towel to catch extra grease. Serve hot so they are crispy when serving. Yop with sour cream or applesauce if desired
POLISH POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE - PLACKI KARTOFLANE OR ZIEMNIACZANE
When I was little, my mother made placki kartoflane, or placki ziemniaczane, on meatless days. They were thin and crispy and sprinkled with granulated sugar. Since then, I've come to love Jewish latkes infused with onion or garlic and served with sour cream and applesauce, and the puffy Czech and Bohemian varieties. Potato pancakes make great sides or they can stand alone. Although the flavor and texture will be different, you can really save time by using thawed and drained frozen hash browns. Just mix them with the remaining ingredients and eliminate the food processor.

- In a large, heavy skillet set over medium-high heat, add enough vegetable shortening to come to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat until hot, but not smoking.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet and spread out to a 3-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Fry until brown on the bottom (don't turn until the pancake is brown or it will stick), about 3 to 5 minutes, reducing the heat to medium, if needed, to prevent burning.
- Turn the pancake and fry the other side 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve with granulated sugar or applesauce and sour cream. Note: Add 2 tablespoons grated onion and/or 1 grated garlic clove to the batter, and/or 2 tablespoons fried, chopped bacon, if desired.
