Latkes
Our potato latkes recipe creates crispy, oniony latkes with a lacy exterior and creamy center. They’re the perfect vehicle for all kinds of toppings—traditional or original!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
- 1 large onion
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- oil for frying
- optional toppings: applesauce, sour cream, lox, chives, pearl onions and lemon wedges
Directions:
- Coarsely grate potatoes and onion; squeeze mixture to remove as much liquid as possible. Place in a bowl; add egg, salt and pepper.
- In a cast-iron or electric skillet, heat 1/8 in. oil to 375°. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil. Flatten to form patties. Fry until golden brown; turn and cook other side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, serve with toppings.
