Recipe for Potato Latkas

Potato Latkas

Ingredients

  • 150g fresh white breadcrumbs
  • 150g fine motza meal
  • 1 tbsp groundnut oil plus about 1ltr groundnut oil for frying
  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 grated dessert apple
  • 1 grated onion
  • 4-6 potatoes finely grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid

Method

  • Mix the potatoes, onions, salt & pepper with the apple, 1 tbsp groundnut oil and beaten eggs.
  • Then add the breadcrumbs and motza meal and mix well.
  • Heat the remaining oil, take a handful of the mix, roll into a ball and flatten down to about 1cm thickness, repeat and fry for about 5 mins each side or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
  • These keep well in a low heat warm oven whilst cooking batches if you are serving straight away.
  • The mixture can also be prepared a day ahead if you cover it well. It may discolour slightly but this won’t affect the end result!
