Ingredients
-
6 large potatoes, peeled
1 large onion
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt, to taste

1 pinch sugar
flour (enough to hold ingredients together, you'll be able to tell when you've added enough)
Crisco shortening
Preparation
-
Cut peeled potatoes into chunks and chop in food processor.
Cut onions into chunks and chop in food processor.
Mix potatoes and onions together in a colander over a large bowl.
Allow to drain.
Pour mixture into a large bowl and add beaten eggs, salt, pepper, baking powder, sugar, and a tablespoon of flour at-a-time until mixture holds together.
Mix well.
In a fry pan, melt shortening.
You'll need about 1/8\".
Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the oil.
Flatten each spoonful with the back of the spoon to make thin latkes.
Fry until the edges turn a dark brown.
