Potato Pancakes
Many folks know these as “latkes” but I like potato pancakes because I serve them with ham, mustard, sour cream, applesauce, summer salads, pickles…it’s really up to you how you serve them. Enjoy these potato pancakes!
Ingredients
3 medium russet potatoes
1 medium onion
3 large eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup flour
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper
Vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Peel and shred the potatoes rinsing them throughly in cold water. Squeeze out as much of the water as you can. Place the shredded potatoes in a large bowl
2
Shred the medium onion and place it in the bowl with the potatoes.
3
To the potatoes, add the eggs, bread crumbs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix everything together to combine.
4
Heat a large frying pan on the stove and add enough oil so you have about 1/2 inch of oil in the pan.

Heat the oil while shaping the potato pancakes. To shape them make a round ball about the size of a baseball and then flatten that ball.

Fry the potato pancakes until they are golden brown on each side.
7
Serve the potato pancakes with sour cream, applesauce, brown mustard, pickles or a summer salad on the side. Enjoy!
