How To Make Classic Potato Latkes
These crispy potato pancakes are a classic Hanukkah dish, perfect as a side or appetizer.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 onion, grated
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sour cream and applesauce, for serving
Instructions
-
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl.
-
Add the grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, and salt to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix well to combine.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil and flatten with a spatula to form pancakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain the latkes on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
-
Serve the latkes hot with sour cream and applesauce on the side.
