Potato Latkes
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
5 medium-sized raw potatoes
1 medium-sized onion, peeled
2 eggs
1/4 cup matzo meal or flour
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Wash potatoes; remove spots or blemishes with a small knife.
Peel potatoes, if desired. With hand grater or food processor
fitted with steel shredding blade, coarsely grate potatoes.
Transfer to large bowl; cover with cold water and let stand 10
minutes. Drain potatoes in colander, pressing out excess liquid.
Using hand grater or food processor fitted with steel blade, grate
or chop onion. Combine drained potatoes, onion, eggs, matzo meal or
flour and salt; mix well. (As mixture stands, more liquid will
accumulate. Do not pour off liquid; stir mixture frequently to
blend.)
In large skillet, heat 1/4-inch oil over medium heat until hot.
Drop potato mixture by tablespoons into hot oil; flatten slightly
with spatula. Cook pancakes, a few at a time, until golden brown on
both sides, turning once and adding more oil if necessary. Drain on
paper towels. Keep cooked pancakes warm in preheated 2000F oven
while others are cooking. Serve pancakes warm, with applesauce.
