Ingredients
- 4 Idaho (russet) potatoes
- 1/2 Spanish onion
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 egg yolks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon schmaltz*
- *Can be found at kosher or gourmet markets
Directions
Start by grating the potatoes and onions, then squeeze out all of the liquid. Transfer the grated potatoes and onions to a medium bowl. Add the flour, egg yolks, salt, and pepper and mix well.
In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil and schmaltz. Form the potato mixture into 2-inch diameter patties and place in pan. Cook each latke for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat until all the latke mixture from the bowl has been used.
