Perkins Family Restaurants Potato Pancakes
"When Matt and Ivan Perkins tasted the food at Smitty's Pancake House in Seattle, they were smitten. Soon they had purchased the rights to Williams Smith's recipes, which had been perfected at his renowned restaurant since it opened just after World War II. In 1958, the brothers realized their dream and opened a Smitty's restaurant of their own in Cincinnati, Ohio. When the brothers decided to give the chain an identity of its own, all of the Smittys were changed to Perkins, and business continued to thrive through the years. If you've never tried potato pancakes from Perkins or any restaurant, now's the time. This is a tasty, classic breakfast recipe that doesn't necessarily have to be for breakfast. I've given you the option to make the potatoes with frozen hash brown potatoes or with fresh potatoes you shred by hand. Maple syrup goes great on these hotcakes. Or you can just go for a little butter and powdered sugar on top. Source: "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes" by Todd Wilbur...."
