Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Grate the potatoes and onion: Using a box grater or a food processor, grate the peeled potatoes and onion. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

  2. Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined.

  3. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.

  4. Form the latkes: Take a heaping spoonful of the potato mixture and form it into a small patty with your hands. Carefully place the patty into the hot oil, using a spatula to flatten it slightly.

  5. Fry the latkes: Cook the latkes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. Serve and enjoy: Potato Latkes are best served hot and crispy, straight from the skillet. You can enjoy them as is, or pair them with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
