Squeezing the potato mixture with your hands removes excess liquid before dropping it into the hot oil. This will ensure crisp latkes and keep the oil from splattering.
Ingredients:
3 large baking potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds)
1 large onion, quartered
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
vegetable oil
applesauce
Directions:
1. Scrub baking potatoes; do not peel. Shred potatoes and onion in a food processor; drain, pressing between paper towels.
2. Place potatoes and onion in a large bowl; stir in eggs and next 3 ingredients until combined.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat; heat oil to 350°. Squeeze about 1/4 cup potato mixture firmly in hand to remove excess liquid; carefully drop into hot oil. Fry, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Place drained latkes on a wire rack on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Keep warm in a 200° oven up to 30 minutes. Serve with applesauce.
