Ingredients: Potato Latkes Recipe | Food Network Kitchen | Food Network

2 cups grated raw potatoes, drained well

2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking power

1 ½ teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 small onion, grated (optional)

Vegetable oil for frying

Serve with:

Sour cream, cinnamon sugar, or apple sauce

Directions:

Stir all ingredients together (except oil).

Heat ¼ inch of oil in a large fry pan.

Drop potato mixture from a spoon into hot oil and fry until crisp on both sides, turning only once.

After frying, drain on paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serve immediately with sour cream, a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, or apple sauce.

Enjoy!

You may use a food processor to grate the potatoes and chop onion, and to mix all the ingredients together.

These latkes freeze well.

To reheat, place frozen latkes on a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet (pan). Heat in oven at 400° F until crisp, about 10 minutes.

Recipe can be doubled or tripled.
