Ingredients

2 large Russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 pounds)
1 medium yellow onion, peeled
1 apple, peeled (any kind I've used is good)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Oil (canola or other neutral) for frying

Method

Line a colander with paper towels or cheesecloth. Peel and grate potatoes, onion, and apple on a coarse grater. Mix together and place into lined colander. Let stand for 5 minutes, then squeeze out remaining liquid.

Beat eggs lightly in a large bowl. Add grated potatoes, onion, and apple and blend well. Add salt, flour, baking powder and mix thoroughly.

Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drop mix by heaping tablespoons into hot oil, being sure to drain any liquid off each cake before placing in pan. Lightly press flat. Fry until brown on both sides, then remove to a wire rack over paper towels or baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed. Serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.

Makes about 20.
