Potato Latkes

Eons ago, when I was in the 4th grade, we made latkes. I sort of remembered how to make them from that experience but I looked up a few recipes online anyway.

  • 3-4 large potatoes grated
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • half an onion, chopped finely
  • 4-6 tablespoons of flour (or in my case, I used corn starch because it looks like flour so it’s good enough.)
  • salt/pepper
  • peanut oil
  • Sprinkle salt on the grated potatoes and wring them dry before mixing all the ingredients together, except the oil. Heat the pan with a tablespoon or so of oil and then spoon the potato mixture in and cover the pan. Fry it until it’s golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip it over and do it again. Serve with applesauce.
