Recipe: Irish Potato Pancakes (using raw grated potatoes and mashed potatoes)

IRISH POTATO PANCAKES

1 cup grated raw potatoes, well drained
1 cup cooked mashed potatoes
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil (or enough to cover bottom of pan)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Place raw potatoes, mashed potatoes, eggs and milk in large bowl.

Into another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to potato mixture and mix well.

Heat vegetable oil in large skillet. Put about 1/2 cup of potato mixture into oil for each pancake. Add additional batter until pan is full but not crowded. Add additional oil during cooking process if needed. Cook pancakes (on stovetop) about 5 minutes over medium-low heat, or until bottoms are crisp and brown. Turn and cook other side 5 minutes more.

Transfer cooked potato pancakes to the preheated oven to keep warm until remaining pancakes are ready to serve.

Makes 8 to 10 (5-inch) pancakes
