     1/4   c            Chives, chopped

  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.
