• add the potato-onion mixture, flour,salt,pepper and baking powder.

SLIGHTLY ADAPTED MAMO'S POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, immediately immersing them in very cold water as you finish each one.
• Remove the potatoes from the water. Grate the potatoes and onion with a food processor fitted with the grating blade. Don't press too hard on the potatoes going in -- just enough to get them through.
• Transfer the potatoes and onion to a fine-mesh strainer; squeeze out all the water into a bowl. Let the potato starch settle, then pour out as much water as possible, leaving the starch in the bowl. Add the potato-onion mixture to the bowl and mix in the egg, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium heat. Scoop large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten them out (thin pancakes yield crispy ones). Fry until golden on the bottom, then gently flip and fry the other side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. (If you have to wait to serve, re-crisp them on a baking sheet lined with clean paper towels in a 350 degrees F oven.)
• Serve with applesauce, or try my family's favorite toppings: My great-grandmother put cinnamon in applesauce to serve with hers. My grandfather loved his with heaps of cold sour cream. My grandmother served them with poached pears. My mother tops them with tart, chunky homemade applesauce. My brother, Willie, loves his plain with sugar. My stepfather, Ronnie, loves his with ketchup -- but I wouldn't brag about that!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk squash puree, butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. The batter may still be lumpy, which is fine.Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Melt some butter in the skillet. Add scoops of 1/4 cup of batter to the hot skillet. Fry until the edges of the pancakes are dry and the center bubbles. Flip and cook until done all the way through. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with butter and pure maple syrup. Makes 20-24 pancakes.Note: To make the butternut squash puree, poke a few holes in a whole butternut squash. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 1 hour. Allow to cool until easy to handle. Slice in half and scrape out the seeds and stringy bits. Scoop the flesh into a food processor and puree until completely smooth. Add a little water if your squash is really dry.

EASY LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO PANCAKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the mashed potatoes in a large bowl (I used leftover colcannon). Gently mix in the flour and beaten egg (and any additional ingredients if using).
• Form mixture into 9 pancakes and place them on a plate. Cover and refrigerate the potato pancakes until ready to use.
• In a large cast iron skillet or suitable frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat to 365F/185C degrees. Add 3 pancakes at a time to the hot oil, being careful not to crowd pan. Shallow fry for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip over and cook 5 minutes on the other side, until cakes are brown and crispy.
• Remove the finished pancakes to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack or paper towels and keep warm in a 200F/93C degree oven. Repeat process with remaining potato mixture until all the pancakes are made.
• Sprinkle the pancakes with the chopped green onions and serve with sour cream, applesauce, etc.

BAKED POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine potatoes, onion, garlic, parsley and eggs in a large bowl.
• Add in all purpose flour and breadcrumbs. Mix to combine. Try not to over mix. We want our pancakes to be light and fluffy.
• Add in salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Fold to combine.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the parchment paper. Do not wash your hands.
• With your oiled hands portion out 8 potato pancakes. The thinner the better we want them to be crispy. Not to thin were they fall apart.
• Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. The pancakes should be a nice golden brown color.
• Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on each and fresh parsley for garnish.

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grate 5 of the potatoes on the largest holes of a box grater. Toss the potatoes with the vinegar and place in a mesh strainer. Place a couple plates on top of the potatoes and weigh the potatoes down to try and squeeze out the excess water. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut the remaining 3 potatoes into 6 pieces each. Place them in a saucepan with the garlic. Cover the potatoes with water by about 1-inch. Season the water generously with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer until they are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain and, while the potatoes are still hot, pass them through a food mill or mash with a potato masher.
• Combine the grated potatoes and the mashed potatoes. In a small dish, beat the 2 eggs and add to the potato mixture. Season with salt.
• Coat a large saute pan or cast iron pan with olive oil and bring to a medium high heat. Make a 3-inch patty with the potato mixture, cook it, and eat it to make sure that the potato mix is seasoned perfectly. Re-season if needed.
• Working in batches, make and cook all the pancakes, until they are brown and crispy and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Blot the pancakes on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Hold on a sheet tray to keep warm in the oven until serving.

POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Set a large strainer or colander over a bowl and line it with a clean kitchen towel. Using a box grater, grate the potatoes and onion into the strainer. Using the towel, squeeze as much liquid from the potatoes and onion as possible. Transfer the mixture to another bowl and stir in the flour, eggs, chives, baking powder, salt and pepper.
• Coat the bottom of an 8-inch nonstick skillet with oil and add a couple of tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter foam subsides. Spoon about 1 3/4 cups of the potato mixture into the pan and press to fill the circumference. Fry over medium heat, flipping once, until the pancake is golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain the pancake on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter.
