Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Applesauce
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
Step 2
Grate the onion and combine it with the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add ricotta cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper to the potato mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep and shimmering but not smoking.
Step 5
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup or your hands, scoop the potato mixture and flatten it into a small patty. Carefully place the latke into the hot oil.
Step 6
Cook each latke for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the latkes warm with a generous dollop of applesauce on the side for dipping or topping.
