Potato Latkes

Yield: 4-5
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled

• 1 large egg, beaten, or more to taste

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon grated onion

• ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

• nuetral oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

1. Grate potatoes in a food processor fitted with the grater attachment. Transfer to cheesecloth; wring well to remove as much moisture as possible.

2. Place 2 cups potatoes in a medium bowl (save any extra for another use). Add egg, flour, onion, and salt; stir until well combined.

3. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. Add large spoonfuls of potato mixture, pressing down to form 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick patties. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
