Potato Pancakes (Latkes)

[Guest guest]

Potato Pancakes (Latkes)

 

3 large potatoes (about 1 & 1/2 to 2 pounds)

1 medium onion

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, OR 1 tbsp dried parsley

1 egg or egg substitute to match one egg

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

olive oil

cooking spray

 

Peel the potatoes. Coarsely grate them (a food processor works fine). Put into a

thin dish towel or fine-meshed strainer and squeeze out all the water you can

into a clean bowl. Let the water stand to settle out the potato starch.

 

Finely chop the onion. Add it to the potato in a large bowl. Carefully pour off

and discard the clear potato juice, adding the starch that has settled to the

bottom back into the potato mixture.

 

Beat the egg, and adding to the potato together with the parsley, salt and black

pepper. (Note # 2)

 

Heat a teaspoon or so of oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet over

medium-high heat. Spread the oil around with a spatula. When hot, make patties

by hand out of the potato mixture, about the size of a hamburger patty. Place

each in the oiled skillet and immediately spray the tops with cooking spray.

Flatten each latke with a broad spatula until it is as thin as you can make it.

Cook until it starts to brown. Lightly spray again and turn over. When the

second side is golden, you may spray and turn again to cook for another minute

or two, if you wish them to be crisper.

 

Serve hot, plain or with horseradish sauce, chili sauce or ketchup. Enjoy!

We always ate ours with apple sauce.

Looks like a great recipe, it has been years since I have had any.
