serves 4 - 6

3 medium potatoes
several cloves garlic, minced
1/8 c onions, superminced
1 or 2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 c butter

Grate your potatoes. Purists insist you should do it by hand, but I use a food processor, and no one has complained yet. Add the garlic and onion -- the pieces should be really tiny, eg, much smaller than the potato. Add eggs, flour, baking powder and some salt & pepper and mix thoroughly. Fry in butter til golden brown, and top with applesauce, sour cream and/or preserves.
