Super Simple Latkes Potato Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and cut the potatoes small enough to fit through the top of the food processor for shredding. DO NOT PEEL.
• Add potato & onion to the food processor using the shredding blade, alternating between the two (the onion keeps the potatoes from browning).
• Mix beaten eggs, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add potatoes and onions and stir well.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high in skillet (use multiple skillets to speed up the time to cook).
• Using a slotted spoon, scoop about 1/3-1/2 cup of potato mixture into spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain back into the bowl.
• Drop potato mixture into hot oil in frying pan.
• Flip over when bottom is browned, then smash down to flatten into a pancake.
• Fry on 2nd side until brown.
• Drain on paper towels and then transfer to a cookie sheet in a single layer.
• Repeat until all of the latkas are done.
• At this point, the latkas can be served immediately, frozen or refrigerated to be served within 24 hours.
• NOTE: Reheat refrigerated latkas at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes and frozen ones at 450 degrees for 7-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Defrost grated potatoes in a medium-size colander. Press with paper towels to remove excess moisture. There won't be much.
• Add onion, eggs, salt, pepper and flour. Mixture should be thick and cohesive.
• Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a heavy-bottomed frying pan. I use an electric frying pan at 375 so it doesn't get too hot and burn the latkes.
• Use about 2 Tablespoons potato mixture and place in the oil and press into a patty.
• Fry for about 3 minutes. Flip and fry for another 3 or so minutes. If pancake cooks too fast, reduce oil's temperature. If it takes longer, turn the oil up so they don't get soggy. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
• Drain on paper towels and serve immediately, or keep in a 250 oven on a baking sheet.

Steps:

• Wash and peel the potatoes.
• Grate the potatoes with a grater or food processor.
• (You can grate them into a bowl of salted water to keep them from discoloring. Otherwise they discolor about as fast as you can grate them, although it doesn't hurt anything if you use them right away). Drain off all liquid, and squeeze the excess liquid out by hand.
• (Do this even if you don't soak them in the salted water.) Beat the eggs and mix with the grated potatoes and other ingredients, except the oil.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium high heat until very hot.
• Drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into oil (about 4 at a time).
• Use a pancake turner to flatten them out.
• Fry to golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Serve topped with applesauce or sour cream.

Steps:

• Mix together your dry ingredients. Make a well in the center, and pour in egg, milk and oil. Mix until well combined.
• Oil a frying pan and heat it over medium high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Pancakes are ready, when the both sides are brown.
