"Do you have a recipe, for potato pancakes please?  And what is Cornish
hens??  Thanks Fiona, who is new to the list."

Potato Pancakes (aka Latkes)

6 medium potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
1 small red onion, finely chopped or grated (1/3 cup)
2 tsp corn starch
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste (optional)
oil or margarine for frying

Wash, peel and grate potatoes.  Rinse well, drain and pat dry.  Mix potatoes
 eggs, onion, flour, corn starch and salt (pepper if desired).  Add oil or
margarine to pan and heat in large skillet over medium heat.  Pour about 1/4
cup batter into skillet for each pancake.  Flatten each with spatula into
pancake about 4 inches in diameter.  Cook about 2 minutes on each side or
until golden brown.  Place on paper towels to drain.  Repeat with remaining
batter.  (If any water develops in the potato batter just skim off.)

These are especially good servied with Sour Supreme, dairy free sour cream,
and applesauce.  Or for a twist try them with hot sauce.


~Cornish Hens can usually be found in the meat section of most grocery
stores.  They look like small chickens (about half the size of a regular
chicken) and are usually encased in white or beige plastic.  AKA Rock
Cornish Game Hens.  These are very easy to bake, take less time than a
regular chicken and taste just the same.  Generally speaking, half of a
cornish hen will feed one adult.

Hope that helps!  Debby
