A great Mum for Anne, Ian, Peter and Robin. A wonderful Grammi for Jennifer, Latisha, Sajni, Robert, Mark, Diane, Jessica, Ryan and a loving Great Grandmother "GG" to Callum, Mathew, Jeremy, Sydney, Sophia, Lillian and Jack.

POTATO PANCAKES (Ian Lacey)
This came to our family from German visitors to Norman Farm
1 potato makes enough for 2 people as part of a breakfast
1 potato (Yukon Gold or baking)
1 tbsp flour
Generous pinch each of dry mustard, salt, pepper
Grate potato into water, rinse a few times, pat dry
This is mainly so they don’t oxidize
You can skip this if you are cooking right away

Hot frypan with some oil and butter
Small handfuls, then press flat with a spoon
Variations
Serve with sour cream, dill and smoked salmon
Add Tobasco sauce
Eastern Europeans add grated onion and/or a beaten egg (latkes)
Hello Peter, I read Brent Jones's wonderful remembrance of Shelly. I don't know if you know but Shelly participated in a project at the Dorchester Lion's Seniors center in 2017. The Story Catchers was a series of sessions where seniors were invited to share their stories. I was part of the team and did the video of the story.

Shelley was 95 at that time and I thought she did a great job!
