    • This is traditional latke made for Hanukkah. The key is to achieve a texture that's crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside. Sour cream and applesauce are the toppings of choice.

    Ingredients

    Makes: latkes

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 250F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Place the shredded potato in a colander set over a bowl to drain.

    With your hands, squeeze the potato until dry and transfer to a large bowl. Discard potato liquid. Add the onion, salt, pepper, flour, and egg and toss together until well combined.

    In a large, heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium. Using a 1/4-cup measure, place 3 to 4 mounds of potato mixture in the pan, flattening with a metal spatula to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, lowering the heat if over browning. Transfer latkes to rack set on baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the remainder. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding additional oil as needed.

    Don't call them latkes, they're not even close. Just another potato pancake, and don't sound good at all.
