Ingredients
Instructions
-
Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated onion, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
-
Fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses into the potato mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
-
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape. Repeat with more spoonfuls, avoiding overcrowding the skillet.
-
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to cook through without burning.
-
Transfer cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Continue frying remaining mixture in batches until all latkes are cooked.
-
Serve hot, optionally garnished with sour cream or applesauce.
