Crispy Potato Latkes for the Family
Ingredients
  • 5 medium potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
Instructions
1
Submerge potatoes in a brine solution seasoned with salt, allowing them to absorb the liquid for approximately 15 minutes.
2
Mince potatoes using a medium or fine grater, and then squeeze out the excess moisture to yield roughly 4 cups of grated potato.
3
Combine the grated potato with flour, finely chopped onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl, stirring until well combined.
4
Add eggs to the mixture and blend until a smooth dough forms.
5
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius).
6
Line multiple baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
7
Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a deep frying pan to cover about 1/4 inch of the sides.
8
Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a small amount of batter sizzles and bubbles vigorously.
9
Gradually lower the heat to medium, then carefully drop small batches of batter into the hot oil in your desired size.
10
Use a spatula to flatten the batter into pancake-like shapes, browning them on both sides for 5-7 minutes per side.
11
Transfer the fried pancakes to the prepared baking sheets and keep them warm in the preheated oven while you continue frying the remaining batter.
