Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (about 1 1/4 pounds) all-purpose or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 medium white onion, finely grated
8 scallion greens, finely slivered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Over a large bowl of cold water, grate potatoes into long strips, using the largest holes of a box grater. Transfer grated potatoes from water into another bowl. Pour off water from first bowl, reserving sediment. Add sediment to potatoes.
  • Add eggs, onion, and scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well by hand.
  • Fill a large heavy-bottomed frying pan with 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oil until very hot, about 385 degrees.
  • Drop 1 heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture into the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes; the pan should hold five or six latkes per batch. Turn latkes over, and cook on the other side until golden brown, about another 3 minutes.
  • Latkes can be transferred to a baking sheet and kept warm in a 200 degrees.oven for up to a half hour before serving.

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

These potato latkes were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with applesauce and sour cream, and they were a huge hit with my family.
