Brand-New Heirloom Potato Latkes

1. Prepare Potato and Onion Mixture

Begin by grating the potatoes and onions using a food processor. Once grated, place the mixture into a cheese cloth or a kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture until the mixture feels dry to the touch.

2. Make Latke Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. This mixture will serve as the binding agent for your latkes.

3. Fry Latkes

Heat some vegetable oil in a pan until hot but not smoking. Using a spoon, scoop some of the potato mixture into the oil and flatten it slightly with a spatula. Fry each latke until the edges are lacy and brown, then flip and continue frying until very brown on both sides. Drain on paper bags or paper towels to remove excess oil.

4. Serve Latkes

Serve your heirloom potato latkes with traditional accompaniments such as sour cream or applesauce.
