My normal trick of using flour and baking powder were out tonight-so I improvised and made these lovely potato pancakes. I shredded the potatoes into a bowl of water and kept them in the fridge for several hours, changing the water twice. That helped keep their colour and from being overly heavy and starchy (some people like them that way, but we don't).
You Will Need:
5 large baking potatoes
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons matzo meal (or more if needed)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pepper to taste
Oil for frying
sour cream/applesauce for serving
Grate potatoes into a bowl of water and let sit several hours changing the water at least twice. Drain well and squeeze dry. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan until hot. Mix potatoes, eggs, matzo meal, and salt and pepper together. Drop by spoonfuls onto hot oil and fry until golden. Turn and continue cooking until done. Keep warm on a tray in the oven until served.
