Time 25m

Yield 24 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Idaho potatoes, well scrubbed but unpeeled
1 medium onion
2 eggs
1/4 cup matzo meal or all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes alternately with the onion (this keeps the potatoes from darkening), either by hand or in a food processor. With a food processor, either use a fine shredding disk, or cut the potatoes in half-inch dice, and then use the steel blade with an on-off pulse motion to yield uniformly grated potatoes.
  • Drain potatoes and onions.
  • Mix in eggs, then matzo meal or flour. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour oil into a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/4 inch, and heat. Oil should be very hot but not smoking.
  • Using a large tablespoon, form round or oval pancakes about 3 inches across, flattening them in the pan with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides.
  • Drain pancakes on absorbent paper, and continue frying until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible. Pancakes can be reheated in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes but will not be as crisp.

Overall, I thought these latkes were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

I found that the latkes were a bit bland. I think they needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some other spices.

These latkes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think next time I'll try frying them in a little less oil.

I'm not a huge fan of latkes, but these were actually really good. They were crispy and flavorful, and I loved the dipping sauce.
