Title: Classic Potato Latkes
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables
Yield: 36 Servings
2 lg Russet potatoes; scrubbed,
- quartered lengthwise
1 lg Onion; peeled, quartered
2 lg Eggs
1/2 c A-P flour
1 ts Salt; more for sprinkling
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
- oil; for frying
Using a food processor with a coarse grating disc, grate the
potatoes and onion. Transfer the mixture to a clean dishtowel and
squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as possible.
Working quickly, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the
eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper, and mix until the
flour is absorbed.
In a medium heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about
4" of the oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the
pan should sizzle), use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter
into the hot pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula to flatten and
shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the latkes are brown
and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is
deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a
paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still
warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
