Potato Pancakes

These are a favorite of my husband's. They are a lot like hashbrowns.

8 medium size potatoes, peeled and (6 grated, 2 either very finely grated or put through a juicer and added to the shredded)
Salt
1 egg

Everyone in Latvia may have a different recipe, this is about the way Janis taught me and the way I make them now. Cook like pancakes, in plenty of oil. Takes about 10 minutes for each batch, they need to be cooked through and nicely browned. Serve with sourcream or cottage cheese.
