Recipe for ‘Potato Latkes’

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

This will make about 14 Latkes.

Ingredients

8 medium potatoes, peeled

1 medium onion

1 egg

Lemon juice

1 cup flour

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon baking powder

A pinch of nutmeg

1/8 cup melted butter.

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil, or other oil for frying.

Apple sauce

Method

1. To make the Latkes:

Peel and grate the potatoes and the onions using a large-hole grater. Splash with the lemon juice and squeeze them to take out the excess water.

Mix the flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add the

potatoes and onions and then add the melted butter. Mix it all up and then use your hands to make 14 little flat cakes.

2. Cooking the Laktes: Heat some oil in a frying pan (you need about 1cm deep). Fry a few Latkes at a time.

Fry them until they are golden on one side. Flip them over, and cook the same way on the other.

3. Presentation and eating:

Put a teaspoon of apple sauce on each latke before eating them. They are best eaten straight away.
