I can remember growing up as a child and watching my grandmother and mother both make pancakes using freshly shredded white potatoes. If you like your pancakes crispy, this recipe is for you.

Potato Pancakes

1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 cups uncooked potatoes, finely shredded
1/4 cup Bisquick Baking mix
1 teaspoon salt

Melt shortening in large frying pan. Beat eggs with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by the 1/4 cup into hot melted shortening. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve immediately smothered in butter or your favorite pancake syrup.
