Food - my favorite, potato pancakes

Potato Pancakes

4 potatoes
1 onion
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 tbl spns flour
Pepper to taste
Oil (for pan)

OPTIONAL
Mushrooms
Cheese

Grate potatoes
Mix in egg salt, pepper and flour
Add onion and other ingredients

Mix together until all liquid is absorbed. You may need to add more flour (we added a LOT more)

Drop balls of mixture into oiled pan with a spoon (at about med to med-hi). Flip until golden brown on both sides.

HINT
If you have a lot of these to make, you will want to put the done ones in the oven to keep them warm. Also, if your pancakes are thick, put them in the oven for about 15-20 minutes to be sure they are cooked all the way through.
