Crispy AF Latkes

SO

I'm really starting off this blog with a nice Jewish bang! Since its Hanukah and everyone else on social media made latkes, I guess I had to as well! kidding! it was a pure joy! I did spend a perfectly gorgeous winter Sunday in the kitchen but the sun was hitting my face and the breeze made me feel like a little vacation in my soul. Alright the dishes are calling my name. Enjoy the recipe!

4 Idaho potatoes

1 yellow onion

1/2 cup bread crumbs or matzo meal

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3 eggs

Butter

Worcestershire sauce(optional)

Canola/neutral oil for frying

METHOD

1. Grate 4 peeled potatoes and onion into food processor or by hand.

2. With a cheese cloth squeeze out all the juice into a bowl(save for later)

3. Let potatoes sit for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the starch from the water extracted from potatoes and return gently to bowl with potatoes, careful not to return any water.

5. Add eggs, matzo meal, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and mix until throughly binded.

6. Heat a pan with a generous amount of canola oil, a shallow pool but not a deep fry. Let pan heat up very well and then add butter before adding the potatoes.

7. With a 1/2 cup measurement spoon, scoop out portions of batter and arrange on the pan.

8. Add a carrot to keep the oil fresh

9. Once browned and crispy, flip and then remove to paper towel or cooling rack.

Enjoy with any toppings!
