Wishing your family peace and light this holiday season.
Looking for the perfect recipe to celebrate during your short term leases in New Jersey? Try these fool proof Potato Latkes Recipe.
Ingredients:
2 lbs potatoes (about 4 potatoes)
1/2 onion, shredded
2 large eggs (3 medium eggs)
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Canola oil
Applesauce
Sour cream
Directions:
1. After rinsing off the potatoes, cut them in half lengthways. Do not peel the potatoes!
2. Shred the potatoes and the 1/2 onion in a food processor, or with a handheld grater.
3. Using a cheesecloth, squeeze out the extra liquid in the shredded potatoes into a smaller bowl. Get rid of the liquid, but keep the white potato starch at the bottom.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded potatoes, onions, eggs, breadcrumbs, potato starch, salt, and pepper.
5. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Once heated (about 3 minutes) add some canola oil.
6. When the oil is hot, scoop out some of the latke mixture (about 1/4 cup per serving) into your hand.
7. Form into patties. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the patty in the sink before placing on the skillet.
8. Let each latke cook for 5 minutes on each side. Do not turn up the heat! Be patient, trust me.
9. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.
