"latka'd" Hash Brown Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean dish towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This will help ensure a crispy texture.

2. 2

   Grate the Onion

   Peel and grate the onion using the same grater or food processor. Set aside.

3. 3

   Mix the Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, egg, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, ensuring that the flour and egg coat the potatoes evenly.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet, about 1/4 inch deep.

5. 5

   Form the Hash Brown Latkas

   Once the oil is hot, take about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place it in the skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6. 6

   Cook Until Golden Brown

   Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the latka'd hash browns from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream and applesauce on the side.
