Recipe of the day - Potato Sidedishes!

18 years ago

One of the dogs I babysit just got me up to go outside! It's 3a.m.! So now I'm awake and doing this earlier than usual. Grrrr!

Potato Latkes I

Submitted by: Rachel

"A classic potato latke, you can't go wrong with these crispy hot cakes. Serve with applesauce, sour cream and chopped green onions! Happy Hanukkah!"

Original recipe yield: 10 to 12 latkes.

________________________________________

INGREDIENTS:

 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes (I buy the bag of shredded potatoes; donÂt have to do anything to them)

 1 tablespoon grated onion

 3 eggs, beaten

 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

 1/2 cup peanut oil

________________________________________

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.

2. In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.

3. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream!
