On the first day of recipes,
my trainer sent to me,
the secret to potato latkes!
Ingredients
4 Large Baking Potatoes, Idaho or Yukon Gold recommended
2 eggs, beaten
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sour cream or applesauce, for serving.
Directions
- Peel and finely grate the potatoes by hand. (Yes, it’s more work by hand, but it’s worth it. Otherwise, they’re too watery.)
- Beat the eggs lightly and add to bowl.
- Add onions, salt, flour and stir well.
- Fill the bottom of a frying pan with oil and heat. (These are fried but hey, let’s live a little. It’s only once a year!)
- Take serving spoonfuls of the mixture and drop into the hot oil.
- Flatten a little and lower the heat so they cook through and evenly.
- When one side is golden brown, turn over and brown the other side.
- Make a few at a time, being careful they don’t run into each other.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.
- Enjoy your delicious latkes!
