Discover the delightful world of Potato Latkes, those irresistibly crispy, shallow-fried potato pancakes traditionally enjoyed during Hanukkah. But for those wanting a vibrant twist on the classic aloo bhajiya, this recipe is the perfect choice for celebrating Holi. This potato latkes recipe calls for frying grated potatoes and onion in a mixture of egg, flour, salt, and pepper until they get a golden brown colour. A party-ready snack with a crispy outside and a soft inside. Fry them in mustard oil for extra indian version flavour and serve them with chutneys, spicy yoghurt, or even achar (Indian apple sauce) for a unique touch.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Grate and Drain

The potatoes and onion should be grated using a box grater or a food processor. Pour the grated ingredients into a damp kitchen towel or muslin cloth, then squeeze off all the water to make sure your latkes are crispy. Instead of using fabric, try squeezing the mixture between your hands. Return the mixture to a bowl after draining the liquid.

Step 4: Fry Potato Latkes

Pour about 3 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan for every latke. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press down. Turn and cook for a further one to two minutes, or until golden brown. Lower the temperature to avoid burning. Move the fried latkes to a paper towel or cooling rack to remove any extra oil. If required, add extra oil in between batches.
