I'm hoping you can help me locate a recipe for the best potato pancakes I've ever made.  
This was back in the mid- to late-70s when I acquired a new Oster 10-speed blender that 
came with a cookbook.

The blender lasted us about 15 years but  I kept the little cookbook. However, a series 
of military moves later, it's gone.

I remember the recipe called for chopped raw potatoes put into the blender with water 
to cover and then I'd push the grate button and it did all the work.  I just had to 
drain and dry the potatoes between paper towels.  I believe chopped onions were also 
added to the blender but I've  forgotten the rest of the recipe but once they 
were fried, they were delicious.  I've tried making them with a box grater but seem 
to lose a lot of knuckle skin in the process.

Do you or your devoted followers happen to have that recipe (or something similar)?

Thank you, Uncle Phaedrus.

Hi Joanne,

I will post this as you suggest for readers who might have the actual Oster recipe book to comment, but the below recipe is supposed to be the booklet recipe.

3 c. cubed raw potatoes

Phaedrus - the recipe you post in the reply is nearly word for word the recipe 
printed in my Oster Spin Cookery copyrighted 1977.

The Spin Cookery copyrighted 1964 has a slightly different recipe…I trust this 
cookbook would not come with the 10 speed. It may interest your readers and 
Joanne regardless.

Fritter Potato Pancakes         Yield 4 servings

1/4c        milk
2           eggs
1/2         small onion
1-1/2 tsp   salt
1/4c        flour
1/4 tsp     baking powder
1-1/2 c     cubed raw potato

Put all ingredients into the Osterizer container. Cover and blend until potatoes 
are grated- about 5 seconds. Do not overblend!

Pour about 1 Tbsp of the mixture from the corner of the container into a hot, 
well-greased griddle. Bake until brown. Turn only once. Drain on paper.

Cheers, Kirsten
