Potato Pancakes

This is a really easy version. It makes a great breakfast or side dish.

1 T butter
3-5 potatoes, grated
chopped onion (optional)
1 egg
1/4-1/2 c pancake mix or flour
salt and pepper to taste
parsley to taste

Melt butter in a pan. Mix the ingredients until they form a batter. Spread a tablespoon of batter for each pancake and brown on both sides. Serve with butter, sour cream, or applesauce. I think you can do this with zucchini too, although I have never tried it.
