3 tablespoons 45mlBaking potatoes (large)
2   Eggs - slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlPepper
3/4 cup 177mlCooking oil

Recipe Instructions

Wash, peel and shred potatoes. Place in a colander and rinse; squeeze by hand to drain liquid. In a large mixing bowl stir together potatoes, eggs, salt and pepper. (The potatoes may turn slightly pink on standing.)

In a 12-inch skillet heat 1/2 cup of the oil over medium-high heat. Drop large spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup) of the potato mixture into hot oil; flatten with a spoon to a thin cake (about 4 inches in diameter). Cook cakes, 3 or 4 at a time, for 2 to 3 minutes, on each side or until golden brown. Adjust heat and add oil as necessary during cooking.

Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with sour cream, if desired.
