Ingredients For latkes (grated potato pancakes)

  • 6 md
    potatoes
  • 1 lg
    onion
  • 2 lg
    eggs
  • 1/2 c
    flour
  • 1 tsp
    salt
  • vegetable shortening or oil for frying

How To Make latkes (grated potato pancakes)

  • 1
    Peel and grate potatoes into a mixing bowl. Squeeze out liquid.
  • 2
    Peel and grate onion into potatoes. Add eggs, flour, and salt and stir to make a smooth batter that will drop heavily from the spoon.
  • 3
    Put the shortening or oil in a heavy frying pan using enough to cover the pancakes amply. Drop the batter from a spoon into the hot shortening, making pancakes 3 inches in diameter. Fry over moderate heat until brown on the underside, turn to brown the other side.
  • 4
    Lift out and drain off excess fat on paper towel. Pancakes fried in deep fat should be puffed and crisp.
  • 5
    These pancakes may also be baked in a shallow baking pan for 45 minutes at 350°F until nicely browned. Cut into squares and serve hot. They may also be put into a well greased small muffin pan and baked 45 minutes at 350F.
