Potato Pancakes

4 large red potatoes, grated
1 white onion, finely grated (red or yellow)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Grated cheese  ( I used pecorino romano)
Fresh Parsley


Grate the potatoes and onion and set aside. Let drain for a while. Push all the liquid out you can in a strainer. Using a clean kitchen towel, pour the potato mixture onto that and squeeze again getting rid of anymore liquid you can. Mix the potato and onion with flour, beaten egg, salt/pepper, parsley and cheese. Form into patties with a teaspoon of mixture and fry them up until golden brown on each side. I like mine with sour cream, some use applesauce or greek yogurt. The choice is yours.
