How To Make potato pancakes

• 1

  With a hand mixer, combine potatoes, salt, butter and egg.
• 2

  Combine flour and baking powder., adding slowly to potato mixture until a soft but firm dough forms.
• 3

  Turn out onto a working surface that has been dusted with flour. Gently turn the dough over on itself a few times. Then roll out or pat out until a 1/2 inch thickness.
• 4

  Spoon additional flour onto saucer near the stove top.
• 5

  Heat 1/8 inch of oil in a fry pan on moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Keep about a cupful of oil nearby because you will have to replace it as the pancakes fry.
• 6

  Dust your hands generously with flour before handling the dough. Tear off a small pancake size piece of dough, gently dredge it through the flour and place in the hot pan. Fry until light brown.
