Potato latkes are a traditional Jewish dish made from grated potatoes and onions, mixed with eggs and flour, and then fried in oil. Here’s a recipe for potato latkes that you can try at home:

  • Total Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups grated potatoes
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is well coated with vegetable oil.
  3. Scoop a small handful of the potato mixture and press it into a thin patty. Place the patty in the hot oil and repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking a few latkes at a time so they have plenty of space to cook.
  4. Cook the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve the latkes hot, with sour cream and applesauce on the side if desired. Enjoy!
