      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 lb Mealy potatoes, peeled and
           -coarsely grated
      6    To 10 green onions *
      2    Eggs, lightly beaten

  Bits of pungent green onion offset the richness of the potato.
  
  Rinse potatoes in cold water, then squeeze out excess liquid.
  
  Place potatoes in a mixing bowl with green onions, eggs, matzo meal,
  salt and pepper. Mix well.
  
  Heat about 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil in heavy frying pan, then drop
  spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry several pancakes at a
  time, cooking until golden on the first side, then turning and
  cooking the other side. Serve immediately, accompanied by sour cream.
  
  Variation: Instead of green onions, add 1/2 to 2/3 cup chopped chives.
