MY GRANDMOTHER'S POTATO LATKES



My Grandmother's Potato Latkes image

My Grandmother used to make these every Channukah when I was a kid...I have been using her recipe to make them for my family every Channukah.

Provided by janice brady

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 medium sized potatoes
1 small onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
salad oil

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, if your not going to use them right away, put them in a bowl and cover them with cold water.
  • Grate the potatoes into a bowl, It really doesn't matter which holes of the grater you use. Larger holes are the only ones that will do the job some people think, since they produce crunchier latkes. Others insist on using medium sized holes for smoother latkes, It's up to you, watch your knuckles though.
  • Grate the onion into the same bowl. Of course peel the skin off first.
  • Get rid of the liquid that has collected in the bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in another bowl and then add to the potato/onion mixture.
  • Add the flour, salt and pepper, Mix well.
  • Turn oven on to 250°F This is so you can keep the first latkes you fry warm while your cooking the rest.
  • Pour enough salad oil into the bottom of a large frying pan so it's about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil, and keep it hot at medium to medium high heat. Put a tablespoon of the batter into the oil and press it with a slotted pancake turner to a thin pancake. Do as many as these as the pan will hold. Each latke gets turned once.
  • You can tell when they're ready to turn because the edges get brown. You should cook the latkes so they're golden brown and crisp on each side. As they're done, put them in a shallow pan lined with some paper towels and keep them warm in the oven. I serve them with applesauce -- Enjoy!

POTATO LATKES (PANCAKES)



Potato Latkes (Pancakes) image

These are sauteed pancakes, and delicious. This is the way my grandmother made them, and they were served at the Jewish holidays of Hanukah and during the 8 days of Passover, but not at the Seder (dinner and religious service), but for a light supper. They are good served as a side dish with the Winter Vegetable Plate in my cookbook. If you don't have Matzo Meal (which is also great for breading meat or fish),substitute all purpose flour.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 20 latkes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs potatoes
2 extra large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper
2 tablespoons matzo meal
1 small apple, peeled (optional)
1 small onion
1/4 cup vegetable oil (safflower, peanut, or canola)

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, apple, and onion.
  • Put them through a meat grinder, if you have one. Alternatively, grate them in food prcessor or blender.
  • Pour off some of the excess water from grated potatoes.
  • Beat eggs lightly in medium bowl and add grated potato mixture, salt, and matzo meal or flour.
  • Pour about 1" of oil in large skillet and heat until a few drops of water sizzle when they hit the oil.
  • Drop the mixture by tablespoons into the hot oil.
  • Brown latkes to golden color, then flip over and brown the other side.
  • Immediately remove to double or triple layer of paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with apple sauce and sour cream'.
  • If you can't serve at once, put in 190 deg. F oven. I put each batch in the oven as soon as they are drained, so that all are good and crisp. I also usually double or triple the recipe according to the number of people eating.

  • Shred the potatoes and the onion using the large holes on a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes and onion into a large dish towel and tightly squeeze over the sink to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, baking powder and pepper. Add the shredded mixture and stir to evenly coat.
  • Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. The oil will be hot enough when you drop a piece of shredded potato into the pan and it immediately sizzles. Drop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, pressing lightly on the top to flatten them slightly. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack placed above a double layer of paper towels.
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture. If the mixture becomes watery between batches, stir together to incorporate. Additionally, add more oil to the pan as needed to keep a thin layer of oil covering the bottom of the pan.

  • Grate the potatoes, the carrot and the onion. They need to be grated, as finely as possible, not shredded. This is what give Polish potato pancakes their peculiar texture that is quite different than when shredded potatoes are used.Using a carrot is optional but highly recommended for better color. Potato pancakes made with a carrot will retain beautiful color for a very long time and will not turn grey and unappealing when potatoes oxidize.
  • Place grated vegetables in a fine-mesh colander and let drain for 10 minutes. I get about 2 cup of liquid released during this time. Discard the liquid.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato pancakes in batches of 4, adding more oil as needed, until deep golden brown on each side.

  • For the dip, whisk the sour cream with 2 juniper berries, adding more until you reach the desired taste. The flavor should be present but not too overpowering. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For the latkes, squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the grated potatoes and the sauerkraut and spread each out on separate paper towels. Top with a second paper towel and press out any remaining moisture. Roughly chop the sauerkraut.
  • In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together the potatoes, chopped sauerkraut, flour, eggs, and salt until well combined. Mind that the sauerkraut is well mixed in, so you don’t end up with big chunks of it in the latkes. If the mixture is too moist—it should be easy to form into latkes—gradually add more flour.
  • Fill a large, heavy sauté pan with about 1/3 inch (7.5 mm) of sunflower oil and place over medium-high heat. Take 2 to 3 tablespoons of the potato-sauerkraut mixture into your fingers and form it into a thin, small pancake-shaped latke. Mind that the latkes have to be thin enough to get crispy when fried. (You can also add balls of the mixture directly to the hot oil and push them down with a spatula.) Repeat with the remaining latke mixture. Working in batches, fry the latkes for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Lower the heat if they brown too quickly. Transfer to paper towels to drain, and repeat with the remaining latkes, adding more oil if necessary. Serve or keep the fried latkes in a warm oven until you finish the last batch. This makes about 15 latkes.
