Potato Latkes

Jewish potato pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups potatoes, peeled and grated
• 2-3 Tablespoons grated onion
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 Tablespoons matzo four (or all-purpose flour)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Oil for frying

Directions

Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.

In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Serve with applesauce.
