It’s just not Chanukah without Potato Latkes!
POTATO PANCAKES (Latkes)
2 pounds russet potatoes
1 medium onion
2 lightly beaten eggs
2 TBL plain bread crumbs or Matzo meal
Salt and Freshly ground pepper
2 TBL or more of safflower or corn oil
1. Scrub and peel potatoes. Grate in food processor or by hand, along with onion. Drain well in a colander or strainer. Add eggs and bread crumbs and sprinkle well with salt and pepper.
2.Add oil to skillet; when oil is hot, forming pancakes by spooning the mixture into the hot oil and adding more as necessary.
