Dice 3 medium potatoes. Cover with water. Salt to taste and bring to a boil. Cook until tender. About10-12 minutes. Drain potatoes in colander and return to pot to dry out. Don't want wet potatoes for potato pancakes.
Mash potatoes until smooth.
Add 2 tablespoons butter.
Beat one egg. Add to mashed potatoes.
Add 1/2 diced onion and 1/2 cup flour. Salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.
Add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil to pan. Heat oil. We are about to fry them tater patties.
Now, using that ice cream scoop get a big scoop of taters and add to fry pan.
Using back of spoon or spatula, dip spoon in oil then flatten the scoops of potatoes. The oil keeps the potatoes from sticking to your spoon or spatula.
Fry on each side 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towel lined platter. This should make approximately 8 potato pancakes depending on size of your scoop.
