Рецепт Potato Pancakes-Latkes
I made some Potato Pancakes or also known as Latkes for brunch recently. Latkes are eaten in Jewish communities all over the world on the first night of the 8 days Hanukkah celebration. The pancakes are easy to make and they taste great. So, just make some and enjoy the Latkes!
Recipe adapted from The Joy Of Cooking cookbook.
Potato Pancakes-Latkes
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Coarsely Grated Peeled Potatoes (Russet variety)
- 3 Large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Grated Onions
- 2 Stalk Scallions, chopped
- 1 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil or Butter
Method
Wrap the grated potatoes in a clean dish towel and wring to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Combine the potatoes, eggs, flour, onions, scallions, and sea salt in a large bowl.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture in the skillet, then spread into 3-inch cakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until browned on the bottom, reducing the heat to medium, if needed, to prevent scorching. Turn and cook the second side until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes each side. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve immediately.
