I really like latkes, which are fried potato pancakes. They are often served at Hannukah, but they’re also a traditional German dish.

ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons matzoh flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

directions

  • 1

    Wash potatoes well, but don’t peel. Grate coarsely into a large bowl. Grate in the onion. Add beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper.

  • 2

    Let mixture sit for ten minutes to thicken. Pour off excess liquid, stir well to combine starchy residue and potatoes.

  • 3

    Heat vegetable oil for one minute in frying pan, then drop Tablespoons of mixture into pan. When they are brown around the edges, turn and fry other side until crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
