Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large russet potatoes, peeled
1 small white onion, finely grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup beer
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Pink Applesauce for Potato Latkes, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Osetra caviar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grate potatoes in long strips, using smooth strokes to run potatoes across grater into a large bowl of ice water. Using a strainer or slotted spoon, transfer potatoes, reserving liquid, to another large bowl lined with a clean kitchen towel; gently squeeze dry.
  • Set reserved liquid aside for 10 minutes to allow starch to sink to the bottom; carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving milky residue (potato starch) and discard. Transfer potatoes back to bowl with potato starch.
  • Add onions to bowl; stir in eggs, beer, flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/4-inch of oil. Spoon 1/2 cup of potato mixture per pancake into skillet. Make a few at a time, being careful they don't run into each other.
  • Fry on both sides until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in oven while preparing the others. Serve hot with applesauce, or sour cream and caviar, if desired.

TRADITIONAL POTATO LATKES

This recipe has won me many awards. It is nearly foolproof and will bring a smile to even the most skeptical person.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 12 to 15 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 30-ounce bag frozen shredded potatoes, defrosted (see Cook's Note)
2 sheets unsalted matzo (see Cook's Note)
1 medium red onion, quartered
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Full-fat sour cream or unsweetened applesauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Turn out the shredded potatoes into a large bowl.
  • If you have an exhaust fan in your kitchen, turn it on and place the food processor underneath it--the smell from the processed onion will be very strong.
  • Place the matzo in the food processor and pulse until you have a range of sizes, from 1/4-inch to nearly flour. Dump this onto the potatoes.
  • Put the food processor back together and place the onion and the salt and pepper in the bowl. Process until nearly liquid, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the eggs to the food processor and process until completely incorporated and the mixture turns almost white. Dump this onto the potatoes.
  • Put on a pair of disposable gloves and mix everything together by hand. (If you don't use gloves, the onion smell will cling to your hands for a very long time.)
  • Form the mixture into latkes: Take enough to fill the palm of your hand, then press your hands together hard, palm-to-palm, squeezing until some liquid comes out. You should end up with a disc that's thicker in the middle, like a flying saucer. Turn the disc around in your hands while patting the sides to firm it up. Give the latke one last squeeze--it's ready for the fryer. (When I make them, my latkes average 3 ounces each.)
  • In a deep-fat fryer or heavy medium pot, heat several inches of oil to 375 degrees F.
  • In batches, gently put the latkes into the hot oil and leave them alone to fry until golden brown, turning only once, about 4 minutes. The perfect latke will be golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and white and warm on the inside. You can expect some shreds of potato to come loose; just scoop them out when the latkes are done. If a latke falls apart while frying, it's a sign you have to squeeze harder!
  • Using tongs, remove the latkes from the oil; there is no need to drain. Serve hot, with a generous dollop of sour cream or apple sauce for dipping.

MOM'S POTATO LATKES

Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must have at Hanukkah, but really are wonderful any time of year! This is my mother's recipe, which is honestly the best latke I've had. I usually end up having to make a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I've tried other recipes and always return to these. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.
