Potato Griddle-Cakes

Ingredients

• 12 large potatoes
• 3 heaping tablespoonfuls of flour
• 1 teaspoonful of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoonful salt
• 1 or 2 eggs
• 2 teacupfuls of boiling milk

Instructions

The potatoes are peeled, washed and grated into a little cold water (which keeps them white), then strain off water and pour on boiling milk, stir in eggs, salt and flour, mixed with the baking powder; if agreeable, flavor with a little fine chopped onion; bake like any other pancakes, allowing a little more lard or butter. Serve with stewed or preserved fruit, especially with huckleberries.
