Facts

The first percussion instruments were likely human hands and feet used to clap or stomp a rhythm.

piano creates music by striking a taut chord with a hammer, it is technically a percussion instrument called a chordophone.

A "percussion instrument" is any instrument whose sound is generated via striking, rubbing, shaking or otherwise impacting a surface to create audible vibrations.

Tip

Avoid steaming hot water or lengthy immersions, which will strip your skin of its natural oils.

Recipe

Bacon and Sage Potato Pancakes

4 slices bacon, diced

4 Idaho potatoes, peeled and quartered

1 red onion, quartered

3 garlic cloves

6 sage leaves, finely chopped

2 eggs

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Vegetable oil, for frying

In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard bacon fat in the pan. In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push potato, onion and garlic through the grater. Remove mixture to a towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Place potato mixture in a large bowl and mix in sage, eggs, flour, cooked bacon and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the skillet with 1/4-inch of vegetable oil and heat until it ripples. Once the oil is preheated, form potato cakes, measuring roughly 3 inches in diameter, and add to the pan. Continue forming patties, working in batches. Cook pancakes until crispy and nicely browned, pressing down on the pancakes periodically to flatten, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a preheated 275 degree F oven while remaining pancakes cook.
