Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- Peel potatoes and coarsely grate by hand, transferring to a large bowl of cold water as grated. Soak potatoes 1 to 2 minutes after last batch is added to water, then drain well in a colander.
- Spread grated potatoes and onion on a kitchen towel and roll up jelly-roll style. Twist towel tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer potato mixture to a bowl and stir in egg and salt.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4 latkes, spoon 2 tablespoons potato mixture per latke into skillet, spreading into 3-inch rounds with a fork. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes. Turn latkes over and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Add more oil to skillet as needed. Keep latkes warm on a wire rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven.
Tips:
- Use a large box grater to grate the potatoes for a more uniform texture.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes to prevent the latkes from being soggy.
- Add a binding agent, such as flour, eggs, or matzo meal, to help hold the latkes together.
- Season the latkes generously with salt and pepper, and add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Drop the latke batter into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.
