Potato Latkas Recipe

Posted on 10th of December, 2009 by Lévana

I’ve included my favorite latka recipe below. They will be sure to delight both your family and guests!

Ingredients:
oil for frying
1 cup flower
4 eggs
1 large onion, grated very fine

Salt and pepper to taste
8 large potatoes, grated very thin for smooth texture, or coarser for crunchier texture

Instructions:
Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan (about 1/3″) until very hot.
Mix all ingredients except potatoes in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Add potatoes last, and mix thoroughly without squeezing so as not extract moisture. Work very quickly so they do not get time to get discolored. Form  medium-small patties and throw in hot oil, or drop by tablespoons. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Take out and drain on paper towels. Best served immediately after frying, with apple sauce, sour cream or yogurt. If you must make them in advance, reheat uncovered at 300 degrees for about 15mn, till hot and crisp.
