Potato Pancakes

When my mom was a child growing up on a farm, potato pancakes were a good way to feed a lot of people. Her recipe as I remember, was pretty basic. It was shredded potatoes, chopped onion, salt and pepper, and an egg. My "recipe" includes, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cilantro, some dried herbs and seasoned salt. I have never had potato pancakes at a restaurant that I thought were very good. My mom's were hard to beat, but I think I've done a pretty good job. For me, the simplicity and flavor makes potato pancakes true comfort food.
