Happy Holidays and Happy Hanukkah! Enjoy this festive, classic Jewish take on hash browns and top with sour cream and/or applesauce. As Merle says "Latkes express the essence of Hanukkah!"
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 2-3 minutes per latke
Serves: 3-5 people
Ingredients
3 medium potatoes
1/2 yellow onion
1/2 cup of green onions, green parts only
1 egg
1/4 cup matzo meal, use as a binding agent
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper as needed
In a mixing bowl grate potatoes, onions, and green onions together. You can use a food processor for a quicker grate.
Squeeze out all excess water from the potatoes and onions.
Add the eggs, salt & pepper, and mix well.
Add the matzo meal depending on how wet your mixture is, add more as needed.
Take a spoonful, and with your hands, flatten the mix in your hand.
Be generous with the oil, and fry each latke until each side is a light golden brown.
You may have to continuously add oil to ensure an even fry.
Place onto a plate with a paper towel to drain the oil.
Serve with sour cream & apple sauce.
