Traditional Potato Latkes

Traditional Potato Latkes
Makes approx. 20 pancakes 
Ingredients 
               4-5 potatoes
               2 white onions
               3 eggs, beaten
               1/2 cup all-purpose flour
               1 1/2 teaspoon salt
               1 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
               vegetable/canola oil,  for frying
               sour cream, garnish
               apple sauce, garnish
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.
