Potato Pancakes

❖ 1/2 cup milk

❖ 2 cups flour
❖ 1 egg
❖ 2 cups mashed potatoes
❖ 1 tsp salt
❖ 5 tsp baking powder

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Mix the potato, flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl before adding in the remaining
ingredients. Form the cakes in your hands, and fry in a cast iron skillet over medium–high
heat. Eat these with butter, sour cream, or even hot sauce.

Bean Soup

❖ 1 Tbsp onion juice
❖ 2 tsp salt
❖ 1–2 large onions, sliced or chunked
❖ 1/4 tsp mustard
❖ 2 Tbsp flour mixed with 2 Tbsp cold water
❖ 1 ham hock

Soak your beans the night before as this will help soften them and will greatly reduce
cooking time. Add everything to a pot, and simmer for 45 minutes. If your water begins
to evaporate, simply add more.
