Lithuanian Potato Pancakes (Bulviu Blynai)

Ingredients:

2 lbs. potatoes

1/4 cup potato starch (1/2 cup flour can be substituted)

1 small onion

2 eggs

Salt, pepper

Oil for frying

Cooking Instructions:

Traditionally, the potatoes are peeled and grated and the onion chopped fine. Then, the egg/salt/pepper are mixed in. Once you have the batter prepared, heat your griddle or frying pan. Add a generous amount of cooking oil. Drop by spoons-full or pour pancake mixture on the hot griddle. Fry until golden on both sides. Place cooked blynai on paper towels or newspaper briefly to absorb the excess grease. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or applesauce.
