🥔 Potato latkes

4 servings · prep 20 min · cook 20 min

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes (4 to 5 medium)
• 1 onion
• 2 beaten eggs
• 2 tbsp flour or breadcrumbs
• Salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Oil for frying

Method

1. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Peel the potatoes and onion and grate them STRAIGHT into the water: that is what stops them browning.
2. Drain, then wrap everything in a clean tea towel and twist hard to squeeze out as much liquid as you can. That step decides the crispness.
3. Tip into a bowl with the beaten eggs, flour, salt and pepper, and stir.
4. Heat a generous layer of oil over medium-high. Drop 2 to 3 tbsp of mixture per fritter and flatten slightly.
5. Allow 3 to 4 min per side, until golden and crisp.
6. Drain on kitchen paper, salt lightly and serve hot, with sour cream or apple sauce.
