Classic Potato Latkes. Tory Avery
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ pounds potatoes (I prefer Yukon Gold)
  • 1 large onion, shredded
  • ¾ cup matzo meal or bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon potato starch, or more if needed
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • Avocado, peanut or grapeseed oil for frying (about 1 ½ cups - choose an oil with a high smoke point)
  • ¼ cup schmaltz (optional)
  • subheading: NOTES:
  • subheading: You will also need: hand grater or food processor with shredding disc attachment with choice of large holes or fine holes, clean tea towel or layers of cheesecloth, skillet or electric skillet for frying, colander, large mixing bowl, medium bowl, metal spatula, wire cooling rack:
  • note: Note: I add dry potato starch to the potato mix, which helps these latkes to hold together and creates a lighter, fluffier texture. The latkes can be made without it, but they may not hold together as well when frying.
