Latkes are potato pancakes usually served with applesauce and sour cream dips. The potatoes are grated together with white onion. These are mixed with beaten eggs and breadcrumbs to get a crispy texture. Add toppings to the latkes if you prefer to give more taste. It is a quick and easy recipe that takes about 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
• 4 large Russett potatoes (peeled)
• 1 small white onion (divided to four)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• some oil for frying

Instructions:
Grate one potato, followed by a part of white onion.
Repeat this step until all potatoes and white onion are grated.
Transfer to a clean washcloth.
Wrap and squeeze to remove liquid from the potatoes.
Transfer the potatoes into a mixing bowl and set aside.
Save the liquid from the potatoes in a bowl.
