Latkes


From Molly Abraham in Detroit Monthly Magazine December 1996

Combine in large bowl and mix well:

4large potatoes, peeled and grated
1small onion, peeled and grated
1/4carrot, peeled and grated
2eggs
1tablespoon flour
1 1/2teaspoon salt
Pinchwhite pepper
1/2teaspoon baking soda
1tablespoon strong curry powder (optional)

In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/4-inch oil at 350° F. Drop potato mixture into hot oil one heaping tablespoon at a time, more for larger latkes. Flatten pancakes slightly but do not allow them to touch. Fry slowly, turning once to brown both sides. Remove when golden brown and dry on paper towels. Serve hot with sour cream or apple sauce.

Makes 4 or 5 servings.
