Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled or scrubbed
1 medium onion
2 eggs (or 1

Method

Steel Blade: Cut potatoes in chunks and onion in half. Place in processor with eggs. Process until pureed, 20 to 30 seconds. Add remaining ingredients except oil; process a few seconds longer to blend into a smooth mixture.
