I'm sure they would Soozy, as the kids in this town spend their dinner money on ciggies, and can only afford a couple of scallops with a bit of salt and vinigar on them for their lunch.

I've never heard them called Klondykes either but i think it's a great name. They are a bit like gold nuggets Been on the phone to Mr Chips and told him to put them up on the menu ..........good timing he was just doing the 'specials board'. Think I might have to get him  to bring one home although I've been so good (diet wise) lost nine and a half pounds since the beginning of Feb!

I do think that calling them Klondyke is a regional thing because I have asked a few of my friends and they all call them Klondykes. But where it came from I have no idea.

POTATO FRITTERS

1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3-4 sm. potatoes, peeled

Combine flour and baking powder with water to make a thick batter consistency. Cut potatoes into 1/4" thick slices. Pat them dry with paper towels, then dip in batter. Cook in deep fryer like French fries about 10 to 15 minutes, until brown. Drain.
