| Potato Latke ~ For Artie - Denver Colorado ~ traditional during Chanukkah 3 large potatoes 1 large onion (Some prefer latkes without the onion) 2 eggs Matzo Meal Garlic Powder Salt Pepper 1. Grate the potatoes and the onion by hand (you get a better consistency than with a blender). Drain off the water. Blend in the egg. Add about ¼ - ½ cup of matzo meal (not flour!) to firm up the mix. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste 2. Heat up a deep frying pan and add a little vegetable oil. When the pan is very hot and the oil starts to sizzle, add a small ladle of the mix. When the latke is nice and crispy, flip it and fry the other side. Put it on a few paper towels to drain (See how long the latke stays on the paper towel before someone steals it, if you get the ok, start frying latkes like crazy ). Serve with apple sauce and/or sour cream Note: The latkes fry faster and taste better (less oily) if you don't make them too thick. |
