Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (about 1 1/4 pounds) all-purpose or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 medium white onion, finely grated
8 scallion greens, finely slivered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Over a large bowl of cold water, grate potatoes into long strips, using the largest holes of a box grater. Transfer grated potatoes from water into another bowl. Pour off water from first bowl, reserving sediment. Add sediment to potatoes.
  • Add eggs, onion, and scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well by hand.
  • Fill a large heavy-bottomed frying pan with 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oil until very hot, about 385 degrees.
  • Drop 1 heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture into the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes; the pan should hold five or six latkes per batch. Turn latkes over, and cook on the other side until golden brown, about another 3 minutes.
  • Latkes can be transferred to a baking sheet and kept warm in a 200 degrees.oven for up to a half hour before serving.

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

These latkes were a bit too bland for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

These latkes were just okay. They were a bit too oily and the flavor was just so-so. I don't think I'll be making these again.

These latkes were a huge disappointment. They were bland and mushy, and they fell apart when I tried to flip them. I won't be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of latkes, but I tried these and they were actually really good! The flavor was great and they were nice and crispy.

These latkes were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would use less oil next time.

I've made latkes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The latkes were so light and airy, and they held together perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

These latkes were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was perfect. I served them with sour cream and applesauce, and they were a huge hit with my family.
