Provided by Florence Fabricant

Time 25m

Yield 24 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Idaho potatoes, well scrubbed but unpeeled
1 medium onion
2 eggs
1/4 cup matzo meal or all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes alternately with the onion (this keeps the potatoes from darkening), either by hand or in a food processor. With a food processor, either use a fine shredding disk, or cut the potatoes in half-inch dice, and then use the steel blade with an on-off pulse motion to yield uniformly grated potatoes.
  • Drain potatoes and onions.
  • Mix in eggs, then matzo meal or flour. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour oil into a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/4 inch, and heat. Oil should be very hot but not smoking.
  • Using a large tablespoon, form round or oval pancakes about 3 inches across, flattening them in the pan with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides.
  • Drain pancakes on absorbent paper, and continue frying until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible. Pancakes can be reheated in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes but will not be as crisp.

These latkes were a disaster! They fell apart in the pan and they were so greasy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought these latkes were just okay. They were a little bland and I didn't like the texture.

These latkes were a little too oily for my taste, but they were still good.

I've tried many latke recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The latkes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they have the perfect amount of flavor.

These latkes were a hit! I made them for a Hanukkah party and everyone loved them. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making these again.
