Chanukah Latkes
By the light of the Chanukah Menorah, young and old enjoy this crisp, holiday treat!
Ingredients:
- 5 large potatoes, peeled
- 1 large onion
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ¾ cup oil for frying
- Use: 10-inch skillet
Yields: 4 to 6 servings Grate potatoes and onion on the fine side of a grater, or in a food processor; or put in a blender with a little water.
Strain grated potatoes and onion through a colander, pressing out excess water. Add eggs, flour, and seasoning. Mix well.
Heat ½ cup oil in skillet. Lower flame and place 1 large tablespoon batter at a time into hot sizzling oil and fry on one side for approximately 5 minutes until golden brown. Turn over and fry on other side 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Continue with remaining batter until used up, adding more oil when necessary.
Serve with applesauce on the side.
Variation: Zucchini or Carrot Latkes: Substitute 5 medium zucchini or 5 medium carrots for potatoes.

Happy Holiday my dear friends......
A salad spinner does a great job of removing all the water from the potatoes. Cheers!
