Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Step 2
Grate the onion and combine it with the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each latke and flatten gently into pancake shapes.
Step 6
Carefully place the latkes into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
Step 9
Serve the latkes warm, optionally garnished with sour cream, applesauce, or fresh herbs.
