I’ve been harvesting some early potatoes and thought I’d post my latke recipe. I take one potato and chop it finely, then another few and grate them into a bowl with the finely chopped one. Then I add grated onion until it’s about 1/3 of the mixture. I add salt and spices and one egg and mix it all together thoroughly. The size of the potatoes is variable so it is all eyeballed and determined by the individual taste of how eggy one likes one’s pancakes. For a gigantic batch two or more eggs may be called for.
Then I heat a pan to a medium heat and with enough oil to pan fry them. It takes a little while and is important as with eggs to allow the bottom to cook until it no longer sticks to the pan before flipping.
One can never be too kind to oneself or others.
Never our fault, always our responsibility
