Quite Unhealthy Potato Latkes
Come on, this recipe is way too easy and too delicious
to NOT try it! If you’re feeling guilty about the frying, just
remember: the miracle of Hanukkah is that Jewish people
have been eating latkes for 2,000 years and we still survive!
INGREDIENTS:
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Tons of oil for frying
• Applesauce or sour cream
PREPARATION:
Grate potatoes (OK, you have permission to do it in a food processor - just
don’t tell anyone). Now here’s the important part: MAKE SURE you remove
as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes! Then grate the onions,
combine with the potatoes, and mix together with the eggs, salt and flour.
That’s all! Now drop by heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil in frying pan, and
smoosh a bit with your spoon until they measure about 3” across. Fry until
the latkes turn nice and brown. Don’t turn them over more than once, though,
or they’ll get soggy.
Latkes are traditionally served with applesauce or sour cream. Enjoy, and
have a Happy Hanukkah!
(This recipe makes about 12 small latkes which is definitely not enough!)
