Reply #8: Seat of the pants recipe

[seemunkee]

peel white potatoes and shred in food processor.
Take shredder blade out and replace with chopping blade.
For each batch of potatoes that fits in the processor add 1/4 onion roughly chopped.
Pulse processor to combine onion and potato and the mixture develops a slight creamy texture(This is a bone of contention in our house. My wife likes it creamier, I like them more hashbrownish).
Add 1 egg, dash of salt, 1 tp baking powder.
Add flour but don't let mixture get dry.

Drop heaping spoonfuls in hot oil and pat flat, you can't use too much oil.
Fry to golden brown.
