Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Grate the onion and combine it with the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each latke and flatten gently into pancake shapes.
Carefully place the latkes into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
Serve the latkes warm, optionally garnished with sour cream, applesauce, or fresh herbs.
