Latkes
Potato latkes are enjoyed by many European cultures. They are an absolutely fabulous way to serve potatoes and take very little time at all to prepare.
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, medium, peeled
- 1 onion
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup matzo meal, fine, or flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- vegetable oil for frying
- apple sauce or sour cream to serve with
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onion in a food processor fitted with the grater blade. Turn out on to a clean dish towel and wrap, twisting the edges to squeeze out all of the liquid.
- Transfer to a large bowl and beat in the eggs and matzo meal. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottom skillet. Drop tablespoons of the potato mixture into the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, until well browned on the bottom. Turn and cook 1-2 minutes on the other side or until well browned.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain. Continue with the rest of the batter. Serve warm with apple sauce or sour cream (or both). Latkes can be reheated in a moderate oven.
