    Recipe Introduction


    Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, latkes are typically served with sour cream or with homemade applesauce

    List of Ingredients




    Traditional Potato Pancakes (Latkes)



    2 pounds Yukon Gold or baking potatoes
    1 medium onion
    1 large egg beaten
    3-4 tablespoons of flour or matzah meal
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Vegetable oil for frying

    Recipe




    1. Peel the potatoes and put them in cold water. Using a food processor (or a grater, if you are a gluten for punishment), coarsely grate the potatoes and onions.

    2. Place together in a fine-mesh strainer to squeeze out water.

    3. Mix the potato and onion with the flour.

    4. Add the egg and salt and pepper.

    5. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan with at least one-inch of vegetable oil.

    6. Drop around 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the pan. After a few seconds, flatten the mound with the back of spatula.

    7. Fry for a few minutes until golden. Flip the latke over and brown the other side.

    8. Remove to paper towels to drain.

    9. Serve immediately or keep warm (and crispy) in a 250 degree oven.
