Latkes My Way Recipe

Directions:

1. Using a box grater or food processor, grate peeled potatoes.
2. Place grated potatoes on several sheets of paper towel and press down to remove all moisture.
3. Thinly slice/grate onion.
4. Whisk eggs and add to onions, garlic and potatoes.
5. Stir in flour, baking powder, parsley, salt and pepper and blend evenly.
6. If you feel the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or 2 of milk.
7. Pour enough oil into a large deep frying pan to measure 1-1/2 to 2 inches and place over medium-high heat.
8. When the oil is hot enough, form potato mixture into pancake type shapes with hands.
9. Carefully place latkes into oil and cook for at least 5-6 minutes per side.
10. Do not over-crowd the frying pan.
11. When the latkes are cooked, remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towel or a cookie rack to drain.
12. Have either a separate plate or a cookie sheet handy to place latkes on and keep warm in a 325 degree oven until ready to serve.
13. Condiments are sour cream and applesauce.
