Very simple. Peeled and grated a large baking potato with the medium size star side of a hand grater. It should look like a runny pulp. Grate some onion in too. It takes a while to grate the potato and watch your fingers... hurts like a bugger! Add 1 egg, 2 Tbs. flour, salt, pepper and stir. Double for two people! Makes about 6 thin pancakes per tater.
You need to use a cast iron skillet or SS fry pan (no non-stick teflon stuff). Get it good and hot, add a little butter and bacon fat and spoon in the batter. Thin is good, medium high heat. Don't touch until the edges brown up and you're worried they'll burn. Use a thin metal spatula to peak and then flip. When they come out of the pan, eat ASAP.

Potato pancakes are just about my wife's favorite. I like making them for her, but I hate grating the potatos, so we try to invite the daughter and grandkids over, to make it worthwhile. Usually make a triple recipe, and fry up some smoked sausage to go with it. Everybody has a different idea; my wife likes sour cream, my daughter and granddaughter like butter, my grandson likes applesauce, and I like butter and applesauce.
Guess what we're having for supper Sunday night!
PS I make enough so we don't have to invite Iver.

Looks good. Down here in hillbilly land, we make the potato cakes from left over mashed potatoes from the fridge. It's a heckofalot easier than grating them.

Nice little hammerless Iver Johnson. It's one of the post 1909 models, safe for smokeless powder. What caliber is it?

Haven't decided yet, something more heart smart (which should be easy). 
The IJ is a .32
... and Sip, after your comment, I sure was glad I didn't cut the string before I took the picture!

Add some apple sauce on top. Tastes great together and you need your fruits!

Sometimes simple is good!.....I just finished a dinner of kielbasa and plain white rice (substituted Heinz Chili Sauce for the ketchup).

To simplify your prep time without compromizing taste or texture, try a potato ricer for the spuds & a mini food processor for the onions.
google "potato ricer" & "mini food processor" & "lefse"
Just darn good food!
