Hey everyone, it’s John, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a special dish, potato latkes. One of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
This recipe is for a classic, unadorned latke; the kind your Bubbe used to make. More like a potato pancake, instead of a true latkes, but that's just my personal preference. Latkes are pan-fried potato pancakes made from grated potatoes and onion, an egg, and a binder, such as matzo meal or breadcrumbs. In their ideal form, they have a crispy exterior and a light.

These potato pancakes are fried in oil to symbolize the oil which burned for eight days leading to the phrase "Hanukkah". They're crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Serve hot with plenty of sour cream and applesauce! Return drained potatoes to this mixture and toss to combine.
Steps to make Potato Latkes:
- (One egg per potato) Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add in pepper and salt and whip with fork. Have it be saltier than desired as the potatoes will absorb some salt.
- Grate or pulverize the onion into the egg mixture. (Pictured is the grater I use.)
- Peel and grate the potatoes into the eggs - this helps prevent the potatoes from browning.
- Heat up a skillet or frying pan with olive oil or an oil of your choice. Scoop out some latkeh mixture and shape it more on the thin side for a crunchiness. Be careful with making it too thick/heavy. It will be harder to flip over and is more likely to crumble.
- Keep experimenting to get your desired texture :) We made it a bit too thick this time around- so it tasted like delicious potato kugel!
Serve hot with plenty of sour cream and applesauce! Return drained potatoes to this mixture and toss to combine. The latkes are served as an appetizer, as a side dish, and even for tea with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar. Peel and finely grate the potatoes.
