3 eggs, beaten
•
1/2 cup

Directions
1
Peel potatoes
and place with onions in food processor. Pulse with fitted knife blade until
smooth and creamy.
2
In a large bowl,
combine the potato mixture with eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Add
(enough) flour so that everything stays together and doesn’t fall apart.
3
In a large
frying pan or deep skillet, carefully heat 1 inch of oil on medium-high heat.
4
Gently place 1/4
cup of latke mixture into the oil and flatten a little so that it will cook
evenly. Cook each side until cooked through and golden brown, then transfer
onto paper towels to drain. Continue with the rest of latkes.
Serve latkes hot, with sour cream and
apple sauce.
