Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 large eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 small onions, grated
• 1/4 cup parsley, minced fine
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 medium potatoes, shredded
• 1/3 cup chicken fat
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 beat the eggs and additional yolk.
• 2 to the beaten eggs, add remaining ingredients, except chicken fat.
• 3 shred the potatoes, just before adding them; it will look very peculiar.
• 4 season well.
• 5 heat the fat in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat (or use an electric frying pan set at 400 degrees).
• 6 using a large spoon, drop the potato mixture into the hot fat, creating mounds approximately 3 inches in diameter; flatten with the "turner" occasionally, press the latke into the fat so that it will brown evenly.
• 7 turn carefully when the underside is brown and crusty; brown the second side.
• 8 remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
• 9 keep warm in a 350 deg. oven, in a single layer, for no more than 20 minutes.
• 10 serve piping hot with applesauce.
