Ingredients
- 8 medium potatoes, peeled
- 1 medium onion
- Lemon juice
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 cup melted butter
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Watercress, to garnish
- Caviar, to garnish
- Applesauce, for garnish
- Creme fraiche, for garnish
Directions
Grate potatoes and onions on a large-hole grater. Splash with lemon juice and squeeze out excess water.
Mix flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg. Add to the potatoes and then add the melted butter.
Heat some peanut oil in a skillet and fry until golden on one side. Flip, and cook the same way on the other.
Serve with watercress, caviar, applesauce, and creme fraiche.
**For Passover, omit the baking powder and replace the flour with matzo (ground into flour), which will make a slightly denser latke. Fry it slowly.

My husband made these for Hannukah this year and they were great! I used a bag of frozen hashbrowns and left out the nutmeg. My mom wanted the recipe, she loved them! Def recommend this recipe.

The recipe my mother always uses has about equal amounts potato and onion. 8:1 is not nearly enough! Also, some salt is an important ingredient. And I've never heard of putting caviar etc on latkes... Other than that it seemed fine, though.

We made these for a small dinner party -- everyone raved about them. Easy to make, and they look as beautiful as they taste. I made the recipe to the letter w/ no changes.
