Serve these delicious crisp pancakes for breakfast or dinner. Traditionally they are eaten with sour cream or applesauce to sweeten them, but try them with a roast and gravy too.

Classic Latkes

3 potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 onion, peeled and grated
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup light sour cream

1. Place potatoes in a colander and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt and baking powder; mix well. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add batter in heaping tablespoons and flatten each to make a pancake. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook other side; drain on paper towel. Serve with sour cream.

Makes 4 servings.
