Ingredients

4 large potatoes

1 yellow onion

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

ground black pepper, to taste

2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or more as needed)

1 cup vegetable oil for frying (or as needed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).

Step 2

Grate the potatoes and onion finely into a large bowl and drain off any excess liquid.

Step 3

Add the beaten egg, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Then, mix in enough flour to thicken the mixture (approximately 2 to 4 tablespoons).

Step 4

Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon two or three 1/4-cup mounds of batter into the hot oil and flatten them with the back of a spatula to create 1/2-inch-thick pancakes.

Step 5

Fry the pancakes, turning them once, until they are golden brown. Transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, and keep them warm in the oven until serving. Repeat until all the potato mixture is used.

Step 6

Serve the crispy potato latkes warm and enjoy!
