Tasty Potato Latkes
Share recipe
Description
These potato pancakes are both flavorful and crispy. It is so much easier if you have a food processor with a shredder on it. Either way, worth making!
Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
- 2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- cracked black pepper to taste
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sour cream for garnish
Directions
- 1. Place the shredded potatoes in a cloth, and wring as much of the moisture out as possible. Place the potatoes into a bowl, and stir in the onion soup mix, garlic, eggs, flour, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and drop the potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil. Press down on the patties to flatten them to about 1/3 inch thick. Fry the patties until golden brown and crisp on the bottoms, 5 to 8 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until crisp and golden. Remove the latkes to paper towels to drain, and serve hot, sprinkled with green onion and a small dollop of sour cream.
