Latkes are traditionally eaten during Hanukkah, but this easy version makes a wonderful edition as a side dish or appetizer for any day.
Preparation
STEP 1
Combine the potatoes with onion, egg, salt, pepper and flour.
STEP 2
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. In batches (don’t over crowd the pan) drop the batter into the oil, about 1/3 cup at a time, flattening with a spatula.
STEP 3
Fry latkes until the potatoes are crisp and brown on both sides (about 2 minutes per side). Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm with yogurt and/or applesauce.
Options
You can use your own shredded potatoes if you prefer.
For different flavors, textures, and colors try substituting 2 cups of the shredded potato (or hashbrowns) with shredded turnip, shredded parsnip, or shredded beet!
