Potato Pancakes Version 2.0 (More Traditional)

My mom is visiting this week and she brought a new recipe for potato pancakes.  They were super delicious and FAST!  I truly believe you can have more than one tasty recipe for the same food.  This potato pancake recipe is more traditional.

For this you will need:

3 medium potatoes
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon onion powder (or 1/2 onion)
1/8 cup potato starch
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
Butter (or oil)

1.  Peel potatoes
2.  Using a cheese grated grate potatoes onto a paper towel
3.  Using a second paper towel press the extra water out of the potatoes
4.  In a medium mixing bowl beat the eggs
5.  Add the cornstarch, onion, and potatoes
6.  Mix well
7.  Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet
8.  Using an ice cream scoop place potato mixture into the skillet
9.  Cook until each side is golden brown

Serve the potato pancakes with sour cream or applesauce.  We had them at lunch today with sandwiches.
