My grandmother's latkes
- 4 potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1 each onion
- 1/2 cup matzah meal
- 1 salt
- 1 pepper
- 1 oil
- peal and cut up the potatoes and onions.
- using your food processor with the shred disc side up, put the potato and onion chunks in.
- make they are shredded well.
- put the shredded potato and onion mixture in a large boel.
- Add one egg.
- Mix well.
- Start by adding approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup matzah meal to the mixture.
- You want the mixture to come together but still mixable.
- Add enough salt and pepper for you.
- I personally add about a tablespoon of salt and about a teaspoon of pepper.
- Pour in enough oil to coat the bottom of a large frying pan.
- Heat on medium heat.
- When the oil heats up put a large spoonful of the mixture in the pan, pressing down with spoon.
- Add more spoonfuls until the pan holds 4-6 pancakes depending on the size of your pan.
- When the edges start turning brown flip them over.
- Dry for another 3-5 minutes until brown on both sides.
- Using a spatula scoop out the latkes onto a paper btowel lined plate.
- Add more oil and continue frying until all of the mixture is used up.
- serve with applesauce or sour cream.
