Potato Pancakes

6 large potatoes, peeled and grated
1 large onion, grated
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. cracker meal
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
dash of cayenne pepper
canola oil for frying

Place grated potatoes and onion in a cheesecloth and squeeze out excess water. Place drained mixture into a large bowl and add eggs, sugar, flour, cracker meal, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; mix well. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add some oil. Form mixture into balls, press out excess liquid and carefully drop into hot oil. Press flat and fry for four minutes on each side or until browned and well-done. Drain on paper towel. Serve with sour cream or applesauce. Makes six (two-pancake) servings.
