Latkes

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potato Mixture

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Form and Cook Latkes

    Using your hands, form the potato mixture into small patties. Carefully place them in the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Top

    Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Once cooked, top with cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.
