My mother used to make these years ago, when I was a child. There we're 8 of us children. We would grate potatoes, until our knuckles we're bleeding. I haven't had them in a while, but I do remember my mother either putting Garlic Powder/Salt in them. I do not know what the ratio was, but they we're Ohhh So Good, on a cold winter day, with a pat of butter on top. She couldn't get them cooked fast enough.
