Latkes
Gia
ingredients
- 2 lbs raw white potatoes (about 4 cups cubed) may be left unpeeled
- 1 medium onion, cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup matzo meal (or flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
- 1’2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- apple sauce or sour cream
- vegetable or canola oil for frying
directions
- 1
Grind potaotes, onion, eggs with all the other ingredients in the blender (or food processor). Remember to cube potatoes and onions in pieces small enough to grind well in a blender. Mixture will become a loose pancake type batter. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large frying pan. Just like regular pancakes, pour small amounts of batter into a frying pan. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side - until golden brown on each side.

Another option: Potatoes and onions can be grated by hand or in a food processor. Squeeze, or drain out liquid. Then add the other ingredients. Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil.
