Latkes (Grated Potato Pancakes)

6 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
1 onion, grated
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil or shortening for frying

1. Squeeze out as much liquid from the grated potatoes as you can and place in a mixing bowl; mix in the grated onion then add the eggs, flour and salt, mixing well.
2. Heat, over medium heat, enough oil in a heavy frying pan to cover the pancakes amply. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil, spreading the batter to about 3-inches in diameter. Cook until crisp, puffed and golden brown on both sides; drain on paper towels.

Makes 6 servings.

Cook's Note: To lower the fat in this recipe, the batter can also be baked in a greased shallow baking pan at 350*F (175*C) for about 45 minutes or until nicely browned. Cut into squares and serve hot.
