Crispy Potato Latkes
Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
2 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Sour cream or applesauce (for serving)
Directions
Grate potatoes and onion: Using a box grater, finely grate the potatoes and onion. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Form the latkes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten into small patties.
Fry until golden: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve and enjoy: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm with sour cream or applesauce.
