Potato latkes are a traditional Jewish dish made from grated potatoes and onions, mixed with eggs and flour, and then fried in oil. Here’s a recipe for potato latkes that you can try at home:
Total Time:35 mins
Ingredients
3 cups grated potatoes
1 small onion, grated
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is well coated with vegetable oil.
Scoop a small handful of the potato mixture and press it into a thin patty. Place the patty in the hot oil and repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking a few latkes at a time so they have plenty of space to cook.
Cook the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the latkes hot, with sour cream and applesauce on the side if desired. Enjoy!
