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.

    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. Read more

    tasty even with modifications

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Due to our various family allergies, I used rice flour instead of wheat flour and I left out the eggs and nutmeg. I used... onion powder instead of a grated onion because, well, I didn't feel like grating an onion. These still turned out delicious and crispy. The kids loved them and keep asking me to make them again.Read more

    Latkes or Potato Pancakes

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I don't care what you call them this is a delicious recipe. They are easy to make, and they fry up very crispy. In short,... they are a big hit with everyone. The only problem is it's hard to not eat too many! . Read more

    Not all Latkes need to be Kosher

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    PLEASE people - the whole world is not Jewish. You're makin' me Meshugana! Rate the recipe on the merits of taste and... presentation, not on whether or not it is Kosher. This is just as bad as the jerks who lower ratings for Foie Gras and veal simply because they are opposed to the methodology of its creation. If you don't like it, don't eat it - but leave the rest of us to judge for ourselves. These Latkes were wonderful - and this Shickza will make them again and again! Read more
