Grate potatoes into a large bowl
using the large holes on a box
grater. Season with a teaspoon
coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground
pepper and let stand 10 minutes;
stir to blend in any liquid. Heat vegetable oil in a
nonstick skillet over medium-high.
Drop in rounded tablespoons of
potatoes and flatten with a spatula.
Cook until golden-brown on both
sides, about 5 minutes total, then
drain on paper towels. Repeat with
more oil and remaining potatoes.
Serve with sour cream and chives
or applesauce alongside.
My mamala taught me to add an egg and a little matzo meal with the grated onion and potatoes.
Yes, I agree with 63378203. There is a Potato Latke recipe that is the way I make Potato Pancakes. do a search, it is much better.
You need to get the excess water out of potatoes by squeezing in a paper towel or cheesecloth and add chopped or grated onion to mix.
