Potato Latkes
Spice & Spirit
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these golden potato latkes are a traditional favorite made with grated potatoes, onions, and eggs. Perfectly seasoned and pan-fried to a savory crunch, they’re ideal for holidays, family dinners, or a cozy weekend brunch.
Ingredients
5 large potatoes, peeled
1 large onion
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3/4 cup oil for frying
Directions
Grate potatoes and onion finely using a grater, food processor, or blender with a little water.
Strain the mixture through a colander, pressing out as much water as possible.
Transfer to a bowl and add eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat ½ cup of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Drop large tablespoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and flatten slightly.
Fry for about 5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Continue with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Serve warm with applesauce on the side.
