Recipe: Potato Pancakes with Uncooked Applesauce (Oster blender recipe, 1950's)

POTATO PANCAKES

6 medium-sized potatoes
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 thin slice onion
Uncooked Apple Sauce (recipe follows)

Scrub the potatoes carefully. Do not peel. Cut into cubes about 1-inch in size; set aside.

Break the eggs into the blender container. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, onion, and also about 1/4 cup of the cubed potatoes. Cover and start at Hi speed. With the appliance running, add the remaining potatoes as rapidly as possible, a few at a time. When the last cube is added, stop the OSTERIZER. Stir the ingredients to be sure no large pieces remain.

Pour from the corner of the OSTERIZER container onto a hot, greased griddle. Bake until brown, turn and brown the other side.

Serve hot with uncooked apple sauce.
