   6       md           Potatoes
   1       sm           Onion
   1       ts           Salt
   1                    Egg
   3       tb           Flour, matza meal, or
                        - bread crumbs
     1/2   ts           Baking powder

  Wash, pare and grate raw potatoes. Strain but not too dry, and use
  juice for soup or sauce. If juice is retained, a little more flour
  will be needed for thickening. Grate and add the onions; add salt
  and the egg. Beat well. Mix remaining ingredients and beat into
  potatoes; mix well. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat that is deep
  enough to almost cover the cake. Brown on both sides. Drain on
  absorbent paper. Serve with applesauce, if desired.
