Homestyle Potato Pancakes

Makes 6 servings

4 c. mashed potatoes

2 eggs, beaten

2 onions, finely chopped

1 t. salt

1/2 t. pepper

1/4 c. olive oil

Combine potatoes, eggs and onions in a medium bowl; stir well to blend. Add salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; flatten each to 3/4-inch thick. Cook until golden on both sides.

Place violets, lily-of-the-valley and pink miniature roses in teapots to serve as centerpieces…so sweet.
