Ingredients

4 large yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
lemon juice
1 cup bisquick
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoon chopped parsley or chives
freshly grated nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
applesauce
sour cream
optional: caviar, crème fraîche

Directions

With the large holes of a box grater, shred the potatoes and onion into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze some lemon juice on the potatoes to prevent oxidation and toss well. Take a handful of the potato-onion mixture and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. In another bowl, stir together the Bisquick, milk, egg, and nutmeg. Stir batter into the potatoes and add the melted butter. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film of light oil, about 1/4-inch deep, into skillet. When oil is hot, form pancakes about 1 heaping tablespoon and add to skillet, spreading out and smoothing the top surface with the back of the spoon. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Place on absorbent paper towel until ready to serve.
