Potato Latkes

A classic potato latke, you can't go wrong with these crispy hot cakes. Serve with applesauce, sour cream and chopped green onions!

Ingredients:

* 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoe
* 1 tablespoon grated onions
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 cup peanut oil for frying

Directions:

Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.

In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. 

Serve hot!

Tip: Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
