Latkes
From Naomi's Kitchen
5 baking potatoes
2 eggs
1/4 onion, grated
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp chili powder
Oil for frying
Grate the potatoes, and squeeze them to make them as dry as possible. Mix with eggs, onion, flour, and seasonings.
Heat oil to about 350 degrees. Form potato mixture into patties and gently drop into oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Serve with sour cream and applesauce.
My Notes:
So, many months ago, I mentioned to my mom that I was going to try to make falafel. She suggested I contact one of her coworkers, Naomi, for her recipe, and then realized after I asked Naomi that she was thinking about latkes, not falafel.
I mixed up some more adobe sour cream (sour cream mixed with adobe chilis and sauce... a little goes a long way) and spiced up the latkes themselves with just a little bit of chili powder (you can't really taste it, it just adds a bit of a kick). They're marvelous.
