Latkes by

Tags: onion, garlic, potato

Ingredients

Veggie box Potatoes
1 cup of diced Veggie Box onion
1 egg
1/4 cup of flour or matzo meal
1 clove of Veggie Box garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt, to taste
Canola or peanut oil, for frying
Applesauce and sour cream, for serving

Instructions

Shred potatoes and place in a bowl of water and let sit for 1 hour. A layer of potato starch will form in the bottom of the bowl - you will want to remove potatoes and pour off water, but reserve the starch. Wrap shredded potatoes in a cheesecloth or tea-towel. Twist bundle until water flows out, and squeeze all potatoes until dry. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl along with diced onion. Mix starch into potato and onion mixture with your hands.Mix in egg, salt and matzo meal/flour until latke mix can be formed into patties that just stick together in your hands. Heat1/2 inch oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until a shred of potato immediately bubbles when added to pan. Form latke mix into patties and slide into pan, cooking no more than 4 at a time. Fry until a golden-brown crust forms on bottom, then flip with a slotted spatula and fork until same color is achieved on other side. Serve with either sour cream or applesauce on top.
