Beat together the yolks of 3 eggs, 4 cups of grated potatoes (drain them first!), six tablespoons of grated onions, three tablespoon of bread crumbs (you can also use flour), just a dash of cayenne pepper, some salt and pepper to taste.
Mix it up, take a look, and add more bread crumbs or flour if you need to. I like to use the Italian bread crumbs.
Now, beat the whites of the three eggs in a separate bowl until stiff and fold that into the mix.
Things may get messy now.
Heat about one-half of an inch of oil in a skillet. Drop in the mix with a spoon before it gets too hot. When the edges of the pancake are getting brown, flip it over. This takes a little practice. Be patient with yourself.
I like this with apple sauce, some folks like it with sour cream, and some people make a tomato dip (machanka) to have with this.
Here's how you make the dip:
Fry two or three tablespoons of oil and four or so tablespoons of flour slowly, b7ut stay there and stir it. Don't let it burn or get lumpy. Add pone cup of tomato juice or one cup of drained tomatoes. Keep stirring---lumps are your enemy You want this thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can chop up some onion and use that as a garnish.
