Potato Latkas
INGREDIENTS
4 large baking potatoes
2 tablespoons flour
1 medium onion
kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
ground black pepper
2 eggs
vegetable oil for frying
PEEL the potatoes, quarter them and place in a bowl with enough cold water to cover. Finely grate the potatoes and the onion in a food processor or by hand. Immediately sprinkle with the lemon juice to prevent from turning dark. Combine potato pulp, eggs, and flour and season well.
IN A LARGE skillet, heat oil (a depth of approximately 1/4 inch). Drop full tablespoons of potato mixture into the oil. Flatten each mound slightly and fry in batches until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
May be served with sour cream or applesauce.
