Potato Latkes

These are some excellent traditional potato latkes. They are really simple to make, but frying them can take a while.

Servings: 22 latkes feeds about 5-6 people

Ingredients:


3 large	eggs
0.25 cup	oil
1 medium	onion
0.25 teaspoon	pepper
8 medium	potatoes
0.5 teaspoon	salt

Directions:

Step 1

Chop the onion and peel the potatoes.

Step 2

Grate the potatoes. This can be done easily with a food processor.

Step 3

Place the grated potatoes in a bowl with cold water. Let them soak for about 5 min. (This is a good time to do some dishes). Strain the grated potatoes well, use a towel if necessary.

Step 4

Beat the eggs lightly with a fork.

Step 5

In a large bowl mix the onion, potatoes, eggs, salt and pepper.

Step 6

Heat some oil in a frying pan or griddle. Spoon out fairly thin 4-inch diameter potato latkes. Press them flat with a fork. Cook on each side for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown. Add oil in between batches as necessary.
