Potato Latke

5lb potatoes
eggs
salt and pepper
garlic
cut up onions real fine (my mom's addition)

Note: 5lb potatoes - use 2 eggs,
if less potatoes, 1 egg should be okay

1. peel and wash potatoes
2. shred up or grind up potatoes in food processor and put in bowl
3. add the other ingredients and it will appear soupy
2. add flour to thicken up batter so you can spoon into frying pan of oil
3. drop by spoonful into the oil (vegetable or canola) and don't make real thick because the center won't cook
4. brown on both sides and let cool and enjoy

White potatoes or russets?

I was wondering if you would EVA reply! Either work, but as stated previously, Idaho work very GOOD!!!!! I was thinking of making these tonight!

[cl15876]

Lavabe - regarding the russet question, any potato will work, but russet have more starch which is better for the potato to stick together.

Here is a great link to a variety of Latke recipes you can make like I indicated (actually you can use more eggs if you like - I was reading through a couple of recipes and one lady used 6 eggs for 5lb of potatoes. There are also other variations with carrots and other veggies. I have actually made squash latkes (substituted the squash for potatoes) and also with zucchini and both were awesome. My kids love em also! There was a recommendation as Oz indicated about apple sauce also as well as sour cream (I bet that is good too).

I don't know if you like sweet potatoes, but there were a ton of them in the grocery store yesterday and no white potato to be found, so I got to thinking because I do enjoy sweet potatoes and here is a recipe a found.... (I might try this next... it sounded really good and I bet the brown sugar adds a little more sweetness than the already sweet taste of the potato)

Linky?

Alright silly man, I searched for Linky and I haven't found where I might have said that in such an affectionate manner, but was thinking about you and your success with making the supreme Latke! The only thing I didn't investigate which would have put you over the edge in over achieving was Latke's with Chunky Peanut Butter! I bet ILJ would go crazy! ;)

Just saw this recipe from Duke's Mayonnaise - It sounds yummy!
"Looking for a great holiday appetizer? Try our Baked Artichoke Parmesan Dip. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine 2 (10oz) cans drained quartered artichoke hearts, 6oz grated parmesan cheese, ½cup Duke’s Light Mayo and 2tsp. garlic powers. Pour into a small baking dish or pie pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is bubbly a...nd browned. Serve with crackers or French bread. YUM!" I think I will go with the regular Duke's Mayo rather than the light, but either way, this sounds good and very easy!

I've never heard of Duke's Mayonnaise, but I assume it is far superior to UNC's Mayonnaise.
