Onions contaminate everything!

[imwalde]

Well, goddammit. I just made potato pancakes, and I didn't read the ingredients of the mix too carefully, and there are motherfucking onions in the mix. Blech. I hate onions. (This is maybe something I should have known, but what can I say, I didn't.)

So now I have all these onion-contaminated potato pancakes, and nothing to do with them. I'M not going to eat them.

Anyone want them? Hmph.

Jew potato pancakes always contain a small amount of onions. If that mix is anything likes the mixes I've had in the past, you were better off getting rid of it. That stuff is disgusting.

So, therefore, just for you:

My mom's potato pancakes (guaranteed goodness)

3 cup cubed potatoes
2 Tablespoon flour (or matzoh meal)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 small onion
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper

separate out 2 2/3 cup potatoes. Put everything else into a food processor (or blender) and grate until smooth. Add the rest of the potatoes and grate until fairly smooth. Cook like pancakes using plently of oil. Seve with applesauce (yum) or sour cream. (4-6 servings). They freeze pretty well and they keep in the fridge for a few days.

Ooooh, thanks! I have no baking powder. Or flour. Or potatoes for that matter. (I almost never make things from scratch. In fact, by my standards, adding egg to a mix is labor-intensive!) But next time I get myself to the store, I'll put these on my list!

Mixes are gross and always have weird unnecessary ingredients.

Heh, you live and learn.

I still say Betty Crocker treats me right, though. And Duncan Hines, too. :)

Mixes are ok for brownies, but most cookie mixes use third rate ingredients and include extra preservative crap.
