Directions

  1. Mix potato, onion, eggs, crackers, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

  2. Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to fill about 1/2-inch deep, heat over medium-high heat.

  3. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, first pressing potato mixture against the side of the bowl to remove excess liquid, into the hot oil, slightly flatten the latkes into the oil with the back of your spoon so they are evenly thick.

  4. Cook in hot oil until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain latkes on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Recipe Note

Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must have at Hanukkah, but really are wonderful any time of year! This is my mother's recipe, which is honestly the best latke I've had. I usually end up having to make a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I've tried other recipes and always return to these. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.
