German Potato Pancakes

Once again I was at a loss what to make for dinner. We had some leftovers in the fridge but I just wasn't feelin' it. I hadn't taken any type of meat or chicken out to defrost, so it was pasta or something else. I decided to go with something else. I have no idea what made me decide to make Potato Pancakes but I'm glad I did. They were delish! I served them up with some applesauce and sour cream. Mmmm, mmmm good!

2 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a large bowl, beat together eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in potatoes and onion. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet. Press to flatten. Cook about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
