 Grate potatoes with grater or food processor. Add
 chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Do not soak potatoes
 or starch will be lost. In a large skillet, heat a
 film of oil on high heat. For each crisp, drop about 1
 tb of potato mixture into oil and flatten. Fry on one
 side until crisp, about 2 minutes. Repeat on second
 side. Drain on paper towel. Repeat until all mixtures
 is used up. At serving time, either reheat cakes in
 375F (190C) oven for 5 minutes or serve cold. Garnish
 with sour cream, caviar and a sprinkling of chives.
 Top these crisp potato pancakes with sour cream and
 caviar, or try these alternatives: Sour cream and
 apple sauce, sour cream and smoked salmon, olive paste
 or dab of anchovy paste.
