Updated Potato Pancakes

Growing up potato pancakes were just left over mashed potatoes that my dad then fried up in a pan and served with gravy (usually after holidays to get rid of the left overs). I never thought to actually make them as a meal on their own until I got this recipe. This goes great with the homemade applesauce I posted yesterday.

Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes
1 white or yellow onion
1 carrot
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup flour
1 egg
oil for frying
salt
pepper

Directions:
1 - Peel and shred potatoes, carrot and onion. Crush and add garlic.
2 - Stir in egg and flour, add salt and pepper til it looks right.
3 - Fry 1/4 cup scoops (flatten when you put the pile in the pan) in hot oil (a few tablespoons) on both sides til golden brown. Drain on paper towels or newspaper.
4 - Serve with applesauce and sour cream
