Potato Latke Batter
This recipe makes 20 pieces servings
While potatoes are the traditional ingredient in latkes, you can add variety and other flavours. For instance, replace two of the potatoes with 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded butternut squash, carrots and/or zucchini. Another version includes herbs: add 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh rosemary, thyme or chives.
Ingredients
- 6 Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes, (2 lb/1 kg)
- 1 onion, cut in wedges
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Preparation
Peel potatoes. By hand or in food processor and using shredder blade, alternately shred peeled potatoes and onion wedges to make 6 cups (1.5 L). Transfer to colander. With hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible and discard liquid. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add egg, flour, salt and pepper; toss to mix.
