Hanukkah Latkes (Potato Pancakes)

Things you'll need:

• 3 Large Potatoes
• 1 tsp Onion Powder (or 1 small onion- grated)

• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 Tbsp Flour
• Vegetable Oil

How to:

1. Put about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in deep skillet and heat on medium high heat
2. Rinse and peel potatoes
3. Using a cheese grater, grate raw potatoes into a large bowl (have remaining ingredients ready to add to potatoes as they will brown if they sit too long)
4. In a small bowl beat the eggs well
5. Add eggs, onion powder, salt, and flour to potatoes and stir to combine
6. Test oil with a piece of potato from mixture and if it sizzles the oil is ready
7. Drop large spoonfuls of mixture into oil (a large skillet should fit about 7 dropfuls at a time)
8. Do not touch them after dropped into the pan until you see edges starting to turn golden
9. After the bottom is golden flip over the potato pancake with a slotted spatula and cook other side until golden brown
10. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel covered plate to collect any excess oil
11. Sprinkle them lightly with salt
12. Serve warm with applesauce or sour cream (plain or other toppings work well too)

These turned out really good and were pretty easy to make! Enjoy!
