Special Potato Pancakes

What makes these special is the
addition of roasted garlic.
It might seem like a lot of garlic
but believe me you'll like it a lot.

Ingredients:

4 medium russet potatoes
1 whole head of garlic, roasted and minced
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Peel the potatoes and keep them submerged in cold water.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic,
baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper.
Using the large holes on a box grater,
grate the onion and add it to egg mixture.
Grate the potatoes onto a clean towel
and wring as much water out of them as you can.
Add the potatoes to the egg mixture.
Toss so that the mixture is evenly combined.
Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat
and melt half of the butter in it.
Using half of the potato mixture,
shape 4 pancakes, each about 4 inches
in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
Saute the pancakes in butter until
each side is golden brown and the
interior is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer them to a plate lined with
paper towels and keep them warm
in the oven while you shape and cook
4 more pancakes using the remaining
butter and potato mixture.
