Potato Pancakes submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
I grew up loving these "pancakes". Today I use leftover mashed potatoes (Not very often because who has leftover mashed potatoes!?)

Directions
Cover potatoes with cold water; drain, grate at once, drain off water that collects.
Mix potatoes, onion, flour, bacon bits, eggs and seasonings, blending well.
Heat enough butter (about a quarter inch deep) in skillet. Just before butter turns brown, drop 1/3 cup batter for each pancake and flatten them out. When golden brown on one side, turn pancake over and cook till crisp and brown. Makes 6-12 servings.
