Potato Pancakes (Latkes)

russet Burbank potato 2 lbs grated

onion 1 grated

egg 1

baking powder 1/2 tsp

all-purpose flour 2 Tbsps

salt 1/2 tsp to taste

black pepper 1/4 tsp to taste

vegetable oil 1/2 cup

applesauce 1 cup

sour cream 1 cup

1. Place the grated potato and onion in a strainer for 5 minutes. Using your hand push down to strain out any liquid. Place the strained potato and onion in a large bowl and add the egg, baking powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.

2. Depending on the moisture add more flour. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Add two tablespoons of the potato pancake mixture and press down with a spoon to form a 2 to 3 inch circle. Repeat to fill but not crowd the pan.

3. Fry on each side for 3 minutes until Golden brown. Place on a paper lined plate to absorb the excess oil. Serve with applesauce and sour cream.
