| 4 | large potatoes, peeled and grated |
|---|---|
| 1 | small onion, peeled and grated |
| 1/4 | carrot, peeled and grated |
| 2 | eggs |
| 1 | tablespoon flour |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
| Pinch | white pepper |
| 1/2 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 | tablespoon 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.
