Latkes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the Latkes
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and carefully place it into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with a spatula. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Drain and Serve
Transfer the fried latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with applesauce and sour cream on the side.
