Potato Latkes

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup onion
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup matzo meal

  or all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• avocado oil for frying

Instructions

• 1 Clean the potatoes and then carefully shred the potatoes using a medium-size
  grater on a box grater or food processor. After grating the potatoes, grate the
  onion.
• 2 Place the shredded potatoes in the cheesecloth and squeeze out all of the excess
  water.
• 3 Place the grated potatoes and onion into a bowl and add in the matzo meal, eggs,
  and salt. Mix well and set aside.
• 4 Heat a skillet on medium-high heat with avocado oil that is deep enough to
  shallow pan fry the latkes. The temperature of the oil should be around 370-375
  degrees F. To test the oil use a little bit of the latke mixture to see if it
  sizzles when you put it in then it’s ready.
• 5 Scoop about 1/4 cup of latke mixture and flatten in your hands to make a latke
  patty. Carefully place the latke into the pan and repeat with more latkes until
  the pan is full without overcrowding, usually about 5 latkes if you have a 10
  inch skillet.
• 6 Fry the potato latkes for about 4-5 minutes per side.
• 7 Once the latkes are done transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel or
  cooling rack to drain. Sprinkle immediately with a little more kosher salt if
  you like them salted.
• 8 Serve as desired.
