Potato Latkes or Draniki are made by mixing shredded potatoes with egg and flour, then frying on both sides until crispy. Serve them with sour cream or applesauce - your choice! Make sure to double the recipe if you're making them for a family, that is if you want to get a taste yourself ;)
- 4-5 large potatoes peeled, cut in quarters
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium onion
- 1 garlic clove peeled
- 2-3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup oil
-
Combine 4-5 potatoes, 1 onion, 1 egg, 1 garlic clove, 2-3 Tbsp flour, 1½ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp pepper in a food processor and grind until it resembles batter with no large chunks, about 4 minutes.
Alternatively, grate the potatoes and onion on the star grater until a fine puree form. Then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together. -
Heat couple tablespoons of oil in a skillet, add a large spoonful of ‘potato pancake batter’. Brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side) covered with a lid.
-
Transfer to a serving plate. Serve right away, with sour cream or applesauce.
-
Finish the rest of the batter, in the above-described manner.
You should get about 16-20 potato latkes.
