Step 4 -In a frying pan, add the oil until it is 1/8-inch deep.
Step 5 -Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Step 6 -Once the oil reaches 375 degrees F, drop the potato batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into it.
Step 7 -Flatten each drop of batter into a patty.
Step 8 -Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 9 -Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.
