Potato Pancakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 medium potatoes, peeled
3 eggs, beaten
1 small sweet onion
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup butter, to fry in

Preparation

Grate the potatoes, put in a large bowl of ice water.
In another bowl add eggs, finely-chopped onion, flour and salt.
Pour the water off the potatoes and place on paper towels, squeezing excess water out.
Add potatoes to the egg mixture.
Heat the butter, and use a 1/4 cup of potato batter for each pancake, brown good on both sides. This takes some patience.
