Potato Griddle Cakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs potatoes (russets work well here)
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
butter or oil (for frying)

Preparation

Beat the egg and a little of the milk, then add the flour, sugar and remaining milk a little at a time while beating.
Allow to stand for 2 hours.
Peel and grate potatoes, then add to the batter and mix thoroughly.
Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat.
Melt a little butter in the pan, just enough to coat the pan.
Add a thin layer of batter.
Cook on each side until golden brown, and place on a warmed serving platter.
Continue with remaining batter.
Serve immediately with bacon and lingonberries.
