Chanukah Latkes

Traditional fried potato cakes that are usually eaten during Chanukah with sour cream and/or apple sauce!

Cooking Tip

You can cook a few of these latkes at a time, just don't overcrowd your pan. You can also test your oil by placing a small bit of potato mixture in your oil and seeing if it reacts, if there's no sizzle then wait a little longer!

Ingredients

3 cups potatoes, shredded
6 saltine crackers
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white onion, shredded
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, onions, and crackers. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
Scoop the potato mixture with a spoon or cookie scoop, pressing as much liquid out of the mixture as possible before placing it gently in the hot oil and spreading it out to fry for two to five minutes per side.
Once the latke has become brown and crispy, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.
