Not My Mother'S Latkes
- 4 large Idaho potatoes
- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 medium onion, minced.
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- Peel the Idaho potatoes and grate in a food processor to make 5 cups.
- Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain in a colander. If they darken, rinse and drain again to remove the starch.
- Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes, quarter, and simmer in the broth, stirring occasionally to make 1 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes. Set aside to cool.
- Mix eggs, salt, baking powder, pepper and flour in a large bowl.
- Add the drained Idaho potatoes, the cooled Yukon mash, the minced onions and stir.
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Heat peanut oil in a large frying pan.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the frying pan. Flip when the outside edges are deep brown and the top edges begin to appear cooked. Brown the reverse sides.
- As each batch comes out of the frying pan, transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (Be sure to use a cookie sheet with sides.)
- Bake a completed tray of latkes for 10-12 minutes, or until oil bubbles.
- Remove from oven and pat excess oil with paper towels.
- Serve with sour cream and call the cardiologist.
