Ingredients
5 large potatoes
1 large onion
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
2 tsp. baking powder

4. Each latke (potato mixture) should be the size of a little pancake.
5. Fry on one side until brown then turn and fry on the other side.
6. Serve them fresh out of the frying pan with sour cream or applesauce.
TO FREEZE:
Place the fried latkes on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap and then tinfoil.
