Bubbe's Latkes

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 5 lbs baking potatoes, peeled
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 large onion, grated
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups sour cream or applesauce

Directions

1. 1

   Peel and grate potatoes and place then in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Fully drain grated potatoes; add eggs, onions, flour and salt.

2. 2

   Thoroughly mix in big bowl. Pour oil into frying pan about 1/2 inches in depth or enough so latkes will be immersed in oil.

3. 3

   From the latkes mixture, make patties about 1/2 to 1 inch thick and place in hot oil.

4. 4

   Brown thoroughly on both sides. Place latkes in layers on paper towels to absorb oil. Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream.
