Ingredients

• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 small onion, shredded
• 3 large potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes and onion into a bowl, and stir in eggs, salt, and flour as needed to make the mixture hold together. With wet hands, scoop up about 1/3 cup of the mixture per patty, and form into flat round or oval shapes.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and gently place the patties into the hot oil. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, then flip with a spatula and fry the other side until golden.

Step 3

Line a colander or strainer with 2 paper towels, and drain the cooked latkes in the colander. Serve hot.
