Potato Latkes With Sour Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.
• In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.
• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot!

Steps:

• Place potatoes and onions, in small batches, in food processor container fitted with steel shredder; cover. Process using on/off action until potatoes are coarsely chopped. Spoon into large colander to drain. Let stand 10 to 15 min., stirring occasionally.
• Place potato mixture in large bowl; stir in eggs and crumbs.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in large nonstick skillet. Spoon scant 1/4 cup potato mixture into hot oil, pressing lightly to flatten. Cook 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Place on ovenproof platter; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture, cooking a few at a time. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream or yogurt, cinnamon and syrup. Cover and chill until ready to use.
• Coarsely grate the apples, potato and onion. Put the mixture in a clean dish towel and squeeze to wring out as much liquid as possible. For the crispiest pancakes, you want the least moisture.
• Working quickly, put the mixture in a large bowl, add the flour, eggs, salt, baking powder and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed.
• In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about 1/4 inch of oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the pan should sizzle), drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, cooking 3 to 4 latkes at a time. Use a spatula to flatten the scoops into disks. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes, flip them. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with dollops of the cinnamon sour cream on top.
