Potato Latkes
INGREDIENTS
4 Potatoes
1 Onions
1 Eggs
2 tb Matzoh meal
1/2 ts Salt
1/8 ts Pepper, white
1/4 c Oil
For: 4 servings.
PREPARATION
1. Peel potatoes and place in cold water until ready to prepare
latkes. Starting with onions, alternately grate some onions
on large holes of grater and some potatoes on smallest holes.
This will keep potato mixture from blackening. (Or use food
processor. The steel blade produces a smooth textured latke
and the grating disk a crunchy one.)
2. Press out as much liquid as possible and reserve starchy
sediment at bottom of bowl. Return sediment to mixture, but
not liquid. Blend potatoes with eggs, matzoh meal, salt, and
white pepper.
3. Heat 1" of oil in frying pan. Drop about 1 tb mixture
for each latke into skillet and fry, turning once. When golden
and crisp on each side, drain on paper towels. Serve with yogurt,
sour cream, sugar, or applesauce.
