I literally can't wait for the Holidays!


It's a little early for Hanukkah, but I always think it's good to work for your food. My fingers hurt after shredding and peeling four cups of potatoes, but it was worth it! These labor intensive latkas took about an hour to make, so we fried them up tonight while we had the patience. For dinner tomorrow, we will heat them back up in the oven, serve them with applesauce, and enjoy!

Ingredients
2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
1 tablespoon grated onion
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup canola oil for frying

Directions
1) Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible. (Or use a strainer to get some of the potato juice out, like I did )
2) In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.
3) In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot!
