Latkes are one of my favorite Hanukkah traditions, but truthfully I love them any time of year. Crispy, crunchy, and utterly addictive, this easy latke recipe guarantees the best latkes ever!
0 Grate the onions and potatoes into a large hand towel or strainer over a large bowl (you could also do this through the grating blade in a food processor).
1 Press on the potato mixture in the strainer and discard any clear liquid, reserving the thick white starch in the bowl.
2 Place the onion, potatoes, reserved potato starch, egg, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl and throughly combine.
3 Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a saute pan over medium heat.
4 Place 1-2 heaping tablespoon of potatoes in the oil forming a circle.
5 Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and flip over.
6 Cook another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
7 Can be served immediately or kept warm in a 300 degree oven until all latkes are prepared.
8 Serve with sour cream and apple sauce.
