I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of

Potato Latkes

Makes twenty 3 inch latkes Crispy, golden little potato pancakes - what’s not to like? I serve them topped with sour cream and some finely chopped lox. Now you’re talking - make that ’now I’M talking’.

  1. Either use a grater or processor (with the metal blade attached) to shred the potatoes
  2. Put shredded potatoes in a towel, wrap tight and squeeze out the water - put into a bowl
  3. Shred onion same way and add to the potatoes with the eggs, flour, baking powder, s & p and dill - mix really well
  4. Heat 1/8 - 1/4 inch oil in a large pan over medium until hot but not smoking
