Recipe for Latkes
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4
teaspoon of black pepper - Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a colander and press out any excess moisture with a paper towel.
- Peel the onion and grate it using the same method as the potatoes. Mix the grated onion with the potatoes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the egg mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to drop small mounds of the potato mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the latkes until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the latkes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve the latkes hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your delicious latkes!
