Chef In Residence CUISINE
Seared Potato Latkes When I make these, I always make too many and bring some home for our family; our children love them! INGREDIENTS • 2 lb Russet potatoes (about 2 large ones) scrubbed • 1 large onion, peeled • 2 eggs • thyme • salt and pepper DIRECTIONS Grate the potatoes and the onion, then squeeze out the moisture. Add the eggs and a bit of initial seasoning. Stir in the thyme and then leave the mixture – don’t continue stirring. In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1/8” of oil to simmering and gently place the desired amount of mixture in the oil, frying until brown (3-4 minutes depending on size). Carefully flip and repeat on the other side. These are great as a starch with your main course or as a small appetizer. Served warm, with sour cream and chives.
