Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and finely grate them using a box grater or food processor. To remove excess moisture, place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
Step 2
Peel and grate the onion. Combine the grated onion with the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the potato-onion mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the flour, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Step 6
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and drop it into the skillet. Flatten it gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to form a round pancake.
Step 7
Cook each latke for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Step 10
Serve the latkes warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your preferred accompaniments.
