CLASSIC POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Working quickly, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, flour, salt, baking powder and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed.
• In a medium heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about 1/4 inch of the oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the pan should sizzle), use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter into the hot pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula to flatten and shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

MARCY GOLDMAN'S WORLD FAMOUS POTATO PANCAKES LATKES

Steps:

• The best way to fry these are in tiny dollops, dropped from a spoon (or I use metal kitchen tongs and pick up small clumps of batter) and use a deep wok. the cooking method is so important so follow the directions exactly for perfect results.
• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and just cover with cold water. Turn heat to high and allow to come to boil. As soon as potatoes are boiling, put a kitchen timer on for 10 minutes. When timer rings, remove potatoes from stove and cover with cold water. Drain immediately, then cover again with cold water. Let sit five minutes. Remove potatoes and pat dry.
• Using a hand shredder (best) or food processor fitted with a medium disc, shred potatoes (with skins on). The potatoes should be slightly softened, but still firm enough to produce shreds. If the peel separates from the potato, discard it. If the peel gets grated in with the potatoes, it's fine and just incorporate it into the mixture. I like the hand grater best. When I use the processor, I use two thirds shredded then pulverized potatoes and one third shredded for a mixture than is bulky but still has shreds. Worth the trouble.
• In a large bowl, blend shredded potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Place newspaper on work surface (near frying area) and cover with a few paper towels. In a large deep skillet (I like to use a wok), pour in enough vegetable oil to fill about two thirds. If using an electric fry pan, set the temperature to 350°F or 375°F (depending on how fast you want the pancakes to cook). Drop potato batter by teaspoons (for small ones) or soup spoonfuls in small dollops, flattening slightly with a metal spatula if desired. I use large metal tongs for dropping and turning. Brown one side, turn once, and complete cooking on other side. These cook quickly. You're looking for a puffy centre while retaining some crisp shreds of potato on edges.
• Serve immediately or freeze. To reheat, place latkes on a large wire cake rack on a cookie sheet. Warm at 250°F until crisp. For freezing purposes, fry them a little underdone to allow for browning in the re-heating stage.

LAURA'S POTATO LATKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, adding them to a large bowl filled with water as you work to prevent browning.
• Dry the potatoes, then shred on the large holes of a box grater into a large. Shred the onion into the same bowl on the small holes of the box grater.
• Transfer the potato mixture to a nut milk bag or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze tightly over the bowl to wring out any excess liquid. Set the liquid aside to let the starch settle to the bottom of the bowl, then carefully pour off the liquid on top, leaving the potato starch in the bottom of the bowl.
• In a clean large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes and onions, potato starch, 1 egg, salt, and pepper and gently mix to combine. If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, add another egg. Add 1 tablespoon matzo ball mix and stir to incorporate, adding up to 1 tablespoon more matzo ball mix if the mixture isn't holding together.
• Pour the oil into a large pan to reach a depth of ¼ inch. Heat over medium heat. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, add the potato mixture to the pan, gently pressing down to the desired thickness. Add another scoop or two of the potato mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to crisp and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the latkes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining latkes.
• Serve with applesauce and sour cream.
• Enjoy!

CLASSIC POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
• Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
• Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.
