Ingredients
- 4–5 potatoes
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Start by peeling your potatoes and grating them on the coarse side of your grater. Once you’re done, squeeze out all that extra potato juice.
- In a bowl, toss in your grated potatoes, egg, flour, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Mix it all together until everything is coated and sticking together.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop small spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and gently flatten them out. Fry for 4–5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Serve your crispy latkes warm, topped with green onions and a big spoonful of sour cream (or applesauce). They’re good plain too!
