How To Make blinis (potato pancakes), mark's

• Step 1
  Peel and grate the potatoes and onions Mix all other ingredients together Let stand 15 minutes or so to let the baking powder work. Scoop up the mix in a ball about 2 inches round and deep fry. Serve sprinkled with vinegar.
• Step 2
  Notes: Some folks like their blini flat and pan fried, if so, omit the vinegar and baking powder. But I think the fluffier consistency of the deep fried version is worth the effort. This is a version of what our Jewish neighbors called latke, but they generally prepare them flat. Note: In the Ukraine and Russia, blinis are made from regular wheat flour and the higher class folk served theirs with caviar.
