Yield Makes 12 to 16 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
Accompaniments: sour cream and applesauce

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.

Conclusion:

Hash brown potato latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
