Ive got to say, prior to last night I had only ever tried Latkes once,several years ago, and those were grey and tasteless.. and not very inspiring. So imagine my surprise when I find myself making, and liking, them on a whim.. well actually after a conversation on FB about them. True to form, I couldn't even stick the recipe I had found on a fellow foodies site even though I usually try really hard to follow it the first time :) So here is my first take on Latkes.
To make 2 large Latkes you will need:
- 1 large russet potato
- 1 large egg ( Free range if you can )
- 1 Clove of Garlic, minced
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper
- Lea & Perrins
- Bourbon Street Bad Hot Sauce
- Oven Safe Frying Pan
| First up grate your potato into a mixing bowl, I prefer the plastic grater for potato. |
| Once grated add in the flour, garlic and salt and pepper. |
