Steps:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Grate the potatoes with a grater or food processor.
- (You can grate them into a bowl of salted water to keep them from discoloring. Otherwise they discolor about as fast as you can grate them, although it doesn't hurt anything if you use them right away). Drain off all liquid, and squeeze the excess liquid out by hand.
- (Do this even if you don't soak them in the salted water.) Beat the eggs and mix with the grated potatoes and other ingredients, except the oil.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium high heat until very hot.
- Drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into oil (about 4 at a time).
- Use a pancake turner to flatten them out.
- Fry to golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side).
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve topped with applesauce or sour cream.
POTATO LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)
Latkas are a tradition for Channukah, but they are great anytime. This recipe makes about 15 latkas, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Easy to make, just allow time to stand at the stove with multiple frying pans. I use every burner that is open to speed it up. Traditionally served with applesauce on the side. Some people also top the pancakes with a little sour cream.

Steps:
- Wash and cut the potatoes small enough to fit through the top of the food processor for shredding. DO NOT PEEL.
- Add potato & onion to the food processor using the shredding blade, alternating between the two (the onion keeps the potatoes from browning).
- Mix beaten eggs, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add potatoes and onions and stir well.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high in skillet (use multiple skillets to speed up the time to cook).
- Using a slotted spoon, scoop about 1/3-1/2 cup of potato mixture into spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain back into the bowl.
- Drop potato mixture into hot oil in frying pan.
- Flip over when bottom is browned, then smash down to flatten into a pancake.
- Fry on 2nd side until brown.
- Drain on paper towels and then transfer to a cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Repeat until all of the latkas are done.
- At this point, the latkas can be served immediately, frozen or refrigerated to be served within 24 hours.
- NOTE: Reheat refrigerated latkas at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes and frozen ones at 450 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
POTATO LATKES
Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them on a box grater. Wrap the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the potatoes in a bowl with the egg, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Melt the clarified butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of the potato mixture into the sizzling butter and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and golden brown. Serve the pancakes hot from the skillet.
TRADITIONAL POTATO LATKES

Steps:
- Turn out the shredded potatoes into a large bowl.
- If you have an exhaust fan in your kitchen, turn it on and place the food processor underneath it--the smell from the processed onion will be very strong.
- Place the matzo in the food processor and pulse until you have a range of sizes, from 1/4-inch to nearly flour. Dump this onto the potatoes.
- Put the food processor back together and place the onion and the salt and pepper in the bowl. Process until nearly liquid, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs to the food processor and process until completely incorporated and the mixture turns almost white. Dump this onto the potatoes.
- Put on a pair of disposable gloves and mix everything together by hand. (If you don't use gloves, the onion smell will cling to your hands for a very long time.)
- Form the mixture into latkes: Take enough to fill the palm of your hand, then press your hands together hard, palm-to-palm, squeezing until some liquid comes out. You should end up with a disc that's thicker in the middle, like a flying saucer. Turn the disc around in your hands while patting the sides to firm it up. Give the latke one last squeeze--it's ready for the fryer. (When I make them, my latkes average 3 ounces each.)
- In a deep-fat fryer or heavy medium pot, heat several inches of oil to 375 degrees F.
- In batches, gently put the latkes into the hot oil and leave them alone to fry until golden brown, turning only once, about 4 minutes. The perfect latke will be golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and white and warm on the inside. You can expect some shreds of potato to come loose; just scoop them out when the latkes are done. If a latke falls apart while frying, it's a sign you have to squeeze harder!
- Using tongs, remove the latkes from the oil; there is no need to drain. Serve hot, with a generous dollop of sour cream or apple sauce for dipping.
POTATO LATKES (PANCAKES)
These are sauteed pancakes, and delicious. This is the way my grandmother made them, and they were served at the Jewish holidays of Hanukah and during the 8 days of Passover, but not at the Seder (dinner and religious service), but for a light supper. They are good served as a side dish with the Winter Vegetable Plate in my cookbook. If you don't have Matzo Meal (which is also great for breading meat or fish),substitute all purpose flour.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes, apple, and onion.
- Put them through a meat grinder, if you have one. Alternatively, grate them in food prcessor or blender.
- Pour off some of the excess water from grated potatoes.
- Beat eggs lightly in medium bowl and add grated potato mixture, salt, and matzo meal or flour.
- Pour about 1" of oil in large skillet and heat until a few drops of water sizzle when they hit the oil.
- Drop the mixture by tablespoons into the hot oil.
- Brown latkes to golden color, then flip over and brown the other side.
- Immediately remove to double or triple layer of paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with apple sauce and sour cream'.
- If you can't serve at once, put in 190 deg. F oven. I put each batch in the oven as soon as they are drained, so that all are good and crisp. I also usually double or triple the recipe according to the number of people eating.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes, immediately immersing them in very cold water as you finish each one.
- Remove the potatoes from the water. Grate the potatoes and onion with a food processor fitted with the grating blade. Don't press too hard on the potatoes going in -- just enough to get them through.
- Transfer the potatoes and onion to a fine-mesh strainer; squeeze out all the water into a bowl. Let the potato starch settle, then pour out as much water as possible, leaving the starch in the bowl. Add the potato-onion mixture to the bowl and mix in the egg, flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
- Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium heat. Scoop large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten them out (thin pancakes yield crispy ones). Fry until golden on the bottom, then gently flip and fry the other side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. (If you have to wait to serve, re-crisp them on a baking sheet lined with clean paper towels in a 350 degrees F oven.)
- Serve with applesauce, or try my family's favorite toppings: My great-grandmother put cinnamon in applesauce to serve with hers. My grandfather loved his with heaps of cold sour cream. My grandmother served them with poached pears. My mother tops them with tart, chunky homemade applesauce. My brother, Willie, loves his plain with sugar. My stepfather, Ronnie, loves his with ketchup -- but I wouldn't brag about that!

FOOLPROOF POTATO LATKES
This is my mother's latke recipe which has been a smashing hit at dozens of Chanukah parties. The secret is in the potatoes, which are crushed rather than grated, resulting in a light, crispy latke.

Steps:
- Place 1/4 of the potatoes, onion, eggs, salt, flour, and baking powder in the work bowl of a food processor; pulse several times until the vegetables are finely chopped. Add the rest of the potatoes, and pulse again until all the potatoes are finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop up about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture per latke, and place into the hot oil. Fry the patty until brown and crisp on the bottom, flip it, and cook the other side until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the potato mixture, replenishing the oil as needed. Serve hot.

MILWAUKEE POTATO PANCAKES (LATKES)
These latkes use a combination of course and finely shredded potatoes giving them an excellent texture. Grated onion incorporates into the potatoes. We love the sweetness from caramelization the onions get while frying. Flattening the scoops of potato give these latkes very crispy edges. If you want, sprinkle with a little bit of...

Steps:
- 1. Either by hand or with a food processor grate or finely shred the potatoes. I usually use about 1/2 grated and 1/2 finely shredded. The resulting potatoes should be a lot finer than hash browns.
- 2. Now, very important... Squeeze as much liquid out of the potatoes as you can. Either by hand or by twisting them in a clean dishtowel.
- 3. Grate the onion.
- 4. Add the eggs, salt and pepper, and flour. Stir to blend well.
- 5. Heat the oil to a medium frying temperature. A little bit of bacon dripping added can't hurt.
- 6. Using a cookie scoop, put the potato mixture into the oil.
- 7. Flatten the potatoes with a pancake turner. Fry until golden brown on the bottom.
- 8. Flip them over and fry the other side.
- 9. Drain on paper towels.
- 10. Serve them immediately with applesauce or sour cream on top or on the side. (It's a dunking kind of thing...lol) While this recipe is actually based in Jewish cooking it's even better with pork than beef.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC POTATO PANCAKES
The one and only way to not get perfectly crispy potato pancakes is to not squeeze them properly. More than half the procedure was dedicated to grating, soaking, draining, and squeezing the potatoes. If you don't thoroughly squeeze all the liquid from the potatoes, the pancakes just won't crisp up as well. Top with thinly sliced smoked salmon, sour cream, and fresh dill.

Steps:
- Place potatoes and onion into a large bowl and pour enough cold water in the bowl to cover by several inches. Let rest until potatoes and onion are completely soaked, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour potato mixture into a colander, rinse, drain, and squeeze repeatedly to remove all moisture.
- Whisk eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
- Mix potato mixture and egg mixture together in a large bowl with a spatula.
- Heat 1/4-inch oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, drop large spoonfuls of potato batter into hot oil and flatten with a spatula to about 1/2-inch thick. Cook until the edges of pancakes are golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, flip pancakes, and cook until golden brown and crispy on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking process with remaining batter.

Steps:
- Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
- Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
- Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.

SUPER SIMPLE LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)
We love potato pancakes in our house, but until I came up with the idea to use pre-shredded frozen potatoes, they were a once a year thing at Hanukkah. Peeling, shredding and draining the potatoes were a real pain. Now that the hard work is done, we can eat them all year long!!! At Passover I will make them with Matzoh Meal instead of flour.

Steps:
- Defrost grated potatoes in a medium-size colander. Press with paper towels to remove excess moisture. There won't be much.
- Add onion, eggs, salt, pepper and flour. Mixture should be thick and cohesive.
- Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a heavy-bottomed frying pan. I use an electric frying pan at 375 so it doesn't get too hot and burn the latkes.
- Use about 2 Tablespoons potato mixture and place in the oil and press into a patty.
- Fry for about 3 minutes. Flip and fry for another 3 or so minutes. If pancake cooks too fast, reduce oil's temperature. If it takes longer, turn the oil up so they don't get soggy. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately, or keep in a 250 oven on a baking sheet.
