Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled
- 1 medium onion, julienned
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons matzoh or all-purpose flour
- Salt
- Freshly ground white pepper Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces caviar
Directions
Using a hand grater or food processor, grate the potatoes. Wring dry in a dish towel. Put into a mixing bowl, and toss with onion, eggs, baking powder, and flour. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cover the bottom with 1/2-inch of oil. When the oil is hot, spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling into individual cakes. Using the back of the spoon, flatten each pancake. Pan-fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Fry the cakes in batches and do not over crowd the pan.
To serve, place a dollop of the applesauce or sour cream and caviar in the center of each latke. Place the latkes on a platter and serve warm.

Straightforward recipe. Used food processor & turned out FINE. (used coarsest blade & perhaps a combination of both blades could change consistency to be less hashbrown like
OH MY GOSH IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
Ate them fresh out of pan (I had to test them with my husbnand of course, to make sure they were high quality for our dinner party! and again reheated at dinner. No question fresh was waaaaaaaaaaaay better than re-heated. Not a single one left after dinner party---HUGE hit.
TOTALLY making this again!!!

FYI Comments...the ingredients and methods are similar to many good latke recipes...many serve the sour cream, etc. in small bowls and each guest puts what they want on the plain latke; next, just like many of the FoodTV recipes for french toast using brioche...i.e., use the OVEN to keep the latkes warm while completing the entire batch. Regardless, Emeril's recipe and directions taste wonderful! Annie, Fremont, CA
