  • From: Washington State Potato Commission

Ingredients

  • 6 large russet potatoes

  • 2 medium Walla Walla onions

  • 1/2 lemon

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free, all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup sunflower or safflower oil

Directions

  • Scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water. With food processor shredder attachment, or box shredder, shred potatoes and onions.
  • In colander, rinse potato and onion mixture well with cold water. Drain well, then squeeze water out with hands and then paper towels.

  • Remove from pan and keep warm on paper towel covered baking sheet in oven turned to low heat. Add additional oil to skillet and repeat until all pancakes are cooked.
  • Top with any of the following combinations: sour cream and sliced scallions, maple syrup and crushed pecans, over-easy egg and sliced scallions, fruit preserves and whipped cream.
