Steps
- Wash but do not peel the potatoes, peel the onion.
- Put the grater blade in the Cuisinart and grate them, put the knife in and grind up a bit more but leave some texture.
- Put the frying pan on medium heat with vegetable oil about ⅛" deep to warm up.
- Put the grated potatoes and onion into a sieve or colander and squeeze a bit to drain out excess liquid.
- Beat eggs until frothy in a medium size mixing bowl, add potatoes/onion, crumbs, pepper, and salt.
- Ladle out into the frying pan and push around to make neat pancake shapes.
- Cook over medium heat until deep golden brown - maybe 20 minutes, flip and cook for 15.
- While it's cooking, make the applesauce - just puree apples with ascorbic acid/ vitamin C tablets in the cuisinart.
- Serve with the applesauce and sour cream.
