EASY POTATO LATKES
Specially made for Hanukkah, latkes are potato pancakes that are fried in oil in recognition of the ancient lamps that held only enough oil for one day but miraculously burned for eight. Adding carrots, beets, parsnips, spinach, and currants also celebrates the past, when latkes were made with vegetables, cheeses, or fruits.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine onion, salt, and pepper. Add eggs, and stir until incorporated. Add matzo meal, and stir until incorporated. Add potatoes, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
- Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
- Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

[email protected]The latkes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I used too much oil.

[email protected]These potato latkes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

[email protected]I've made potato latkes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The latkes were perfectly golden brown and crispy, and they held together well without being too dense. A definite keeper!

[email protected]These potato latkes were a hit at my Hanukkah party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making these again.
