Yield Makes 2 dozen 2-inch latkes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 all-purpose potato or Yukon Gold potato (about 10 ounces), peeled
1 sweet potato (about 10 ounces), peeled
1/4 large white onion, peeled
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Grate potatoes and onion using the largest holes of a four-sided grater. Combine in a small bowl; add egg, flour, salt, and pepper, and stir well to combine.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the pan, and cook until golden brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Turn latkes over, press lightly with a spatula, and cook about 3 minutes more. Continue cooking latkes in batches until batter is used up. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
