Recipe Summary Mom's Potato Latkes

Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must have at Hanukkah, but really are wonderful any time of year! This is my mother's recipe, which is honestly the best latke I've had. I usually end up having to make a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I've tried other recipes and always return to these. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.

Ingredients | Vegetarian Recipes Easy

3 cups shredded potato

¼ cup grated onion

2 eggs, beaten

6 saltine crackers, or as needed, crushed

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Mix potato, onion, eggs, crackers, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to fill about 1/2-inch deep; heat over medium-high heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, first pressing potato mixture against the side of the bowl to remove excess liquid, into the hot oil; slightly flatten the latkes into the oil with the back of your spoon so they are evenly thick.

Cook in hot oil until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain latkes on a plate lined with a paper towel.
