Title: Classic Latkes
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Breads
Yield: 6 servings
1 md Yellow onion
2 1/2 lb Yukon gold potatoes; peeled
Salt
6 tb Fine chopped chives
3 tb Plain matzo meal
2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
Fresh ground white pepper
Oil for frying
Sour cream or applesauce
Working over a bowl, grate some of the onion, followed
by some of the potatoes, on the large-hole side of a box
grater. Repeat until all the vegetables are used up.
Sprinkle mixture with salt and transfer it to a sieve
set over a bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible
from mixture, allowing it to collect in bottom of bowl.
Transfer mixture to another bowl and cover surface with
plastic wrap; set aside. Set reserved potato liquid
aside to let the milky white starch settle. Pour off
liquid from starch. Transfer starch to mixture along
with the chives, matzo, eggs, and salt and pepper.
Gently mix.
Pour enough oil into a skillet that it reaches a depth
of 1/4"; heat over medium-high heat. Working in small
batches, form mixture into balls, using about 1/4 cup of
the mixture for each, and place them in the oil. Flatten
each ball gently with a spatula to form 3"-4" pancakes.
Fry, turning once, until golden brown, crisp, and cooked
through, about 8 minutes.
Transfer the pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to
drain. Serve the potato pancakes with sour cream or
applesauce
