  • 1 ¼ c grated raw potatoes
  • ¾ c flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°.

    Combine grated potatoes and flour, baking soda and salt. Mix. Add the mashed potatoes, stir until combined. Add the buttermilk.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet. Add a heaping spoonful of the potato mixture, flatten to a 2" round. Add 2 or 3 more spoonfuls, whatever will fit in your pan.
