Ingredients
-
2 (about 1 ¼ pounds) all-purpose or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
1 medium white onion, finely grated
-
8 scallion greens, finely slivered
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
-
Over a large bowl of cold water, grate potatoes into long strips, using the largest holes of a box grater. Transfer grated potatoes from water into another bowl. Pour off water from first bowl, reserving sediment. Add sediment to potatoes.
-
Add eggs, onion, and scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well by hand.
-
Fill a large heavy-bottomed frying pan with 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oil until very hot, about 385 degrees.
-
Drop 1 heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture into the pan. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes; the pan should hold five or six latkes per batch. Turn latkes over, and cook on the other side until golden brown, about another 3 minutes.
-
Latkes can be transferred to a baking sheet and kept warm in a 200 degrees.oven for up to a half hour before serving.
