Gran's favourite Hanukkah latkes she made as a kid | ABC Eveyday | ABC Australia

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber; cornstarch is often cheaper.

Peel the potatoes.

Grate the potatoes (the creator mentions that in the past they used to grate by hand).

Squeeze out the excess water from the grated potatoes to prevent them from browning.

Add 1 egg to the grated potatoes.

Add salt to taste (the creator mentions you can't over-salt it).

Add flour to the mixture (the creator mentions breadcrumbs are also fine).

Mix the ingredients using your hands for better consistency.

Heat oil in a pan (the creator mentions they don't deep-fry but use a lot of oil).

Shape the latkes and place them in the hot oil.

Wait to turn the latkes until they are ready (the creator advises against flipping them too much to avoid excess oil absorption).

Taste the first latke to check if it is good, and adjust the following batches accordingly.
