Super Simple Latkes (Potato Pancakes) image

We love potato pancakes in our house, but until I came up with the idea to use pre-shredded frozen potatoes, they were a once a year thing at Hanukkah. Peeling, shredding and draining the potatoes were a real pain. Now that the hard work is done, we can eat them all year long!!! At Passover I will make them with Matzoh Meal instead of flour.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 9 Latkes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (30 ounce) bag frozen potatoes (shredded)
1 cup sweet onion, finely diced
2 eggs, beaten
salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons flour
vegetable oil (for frying)
sour cream, for topping
applesauce, for topping

Steps:

  • Defrost grated potatoes in a medium-size colander. Press with paper towels to remove excess moisture. There won't be much.
  • Add onion, eggs, salt, pepper and flour. Mixture should be thick and cohesive.
  • Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a heavy-bottomed frying pan. I use an electric frying pan at 375 so it doesn't get too hot and burn the latkes.
  • Use about 2 Tablespoons potato mixture and place in the oil and press into a patty.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes. Flip and fry for another 3 or so minutes. If pancake cooks too fast, reduce oil's temperature. If it takes longer, turn the oil up so they don't get soggy. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve immediately, or keep in a 250 oven on a baking sheet.

I made these latkes in a waffle iron, and they turned out amazing. They were crispy and fluffy, and they held together perfectly.

I'm gluten-free, so I used gluten-free flour in this recipe. They turned out just as good as the regular latkes.
