Latkes are a traditional Jewish dish made at holidays. In large batches, they are a meal. Can also be a side dish served with sour cream and applesauce.
8 Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and grated
1 egg
1/2 t. black pepper
1 t. salt
2 T. minced dried onions
3/4 to 1 cup Matzo Meal (available in the Jewish food section of grocery store)
I make them in a food processor first grating the potatoes and then removing them to a bowl. Insert the processor blade into the food processor bowl and put the grated potatoes back into processor. Add egg, salt, pepper and onion flakes. Process till blended. Add 3/4 cup Matzo Meal and process. If mixture is watery, add 1/4 cup more of Matzo Meal.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick fry pan to medium and spoon in heaping tablespoons of mixture, flattening slightly. Cook till starts to brown and turn them over to cook other side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven while make remaining pancakes.
Serve with sour cream and/or applesauce.
