Potato Pancakes

Potato Pancakes can come in many different forms, but in our house, they are very similar to Latkes, except that instead of shredded potatoes, they are coarsely chopped in the blender...  Simple to put together, simple ingredients, and requires very little in the way of pot & pans and clean-up in the kitchen, these are one of my 'go-to' meals, often when I don't have anything else planned.  But they were actually on my menu this time around.  I don't always go to the trouble, but I love to serve these with sauteed onions.  Dab a little butter, a blob of sour cream, and some soft onions on top.  Perfect.  If I have it on hand, I will fry up some Kielbasa or Farmer's sausage to go along with it, and usually, applesauce to round out the meal.  I love to cook the pancakes & the sausage on my electric griddle, because then clean-up is a breeze, and it doesn't heat up my kitchen as much as the stove top does.  

Potato Pancakes
Ingredients:
3 c. cubed raw potatoes, divided [I use Yukon Gold, so I just scrub them and cut them a little finer, but leave the skin on. But tougher skinned potatoes, you'll want to peel them first]
2 eggs
1/2 of a small onion [I'm always quite generous here... I love the onion/ potato combination]
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt [again, I'm usually a bit generous here, more like a rounded tsp]

Directions:
Put eggs, onion, salt, flour baking powder and 1/2 c. of the potatoes into a blender.  Cover & process until potatoes have gone through the blades.  Add remaining potatoes and process only until potatoes have passed through the processing blades (you want it to be a bit chunky still, but not huge chunks).  Fry until golden brown on a hot, well-greased griddle, or fry pan.
