Here’s a classic recipe for crispy and delicious potato pancakes (latkes) that your grandmother might have made:
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes (preferably russet)
1 small onion (optional)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or matzo meal for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Prep the Potatoes:
Peel the potatoes and grate them finely using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. This step is crucial for crispy latkes.
Grate the Onion (Optional):
If using, grate the onion. Add it to the potatoes, and mix to combine. The onion adds flavor and moisture to the pancakes.
