Potato Latkes (Pancakes

Well, I don't know this quite by heart, but I have certainly found the perfect Potato Pancake (Latke) recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 box of latke mix
• 3 potatoes
• 1 onion
• 2 eggs, as per the box mix
• water
• oil

Directions

1. Grate potato and onion.  I use my food processor.  Set this to drain the liquid through the colander. This needs about an hour
2. Prepare the box mix as directed but 1/4 cup less water
3. Combine real potatoes and box
4. Heat oil, so that when you drop a few drops of water, it sizzles.  About 1/8 inch high of oil in a frying pan.
5. Drop soup-spoon size dollops in to the hot oil.  You probably want to have the splatter guard handy.  When sizzling dies down and the edges are light brown, flip.  Press down.
6. Use a slotted spatula or spoon to transfer to a plate, lined with paper towels.  

Makes about 20 latkes.
