5 Star Foodie Junior:
Last night, we were making latkes because it is Hanukkah. First, we peeled the potatoes, and then I shredded the potatoes.
Next, we added chopped onions, flour, salt, pepper, and egg, and made our batter.
We put oil on our griddle and dropped little spoonfuls of batter on.
Then, we fried the latkes on both sides. We ate our latkes with sour cream. The latkes were crispy and yummy.

Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg
Vegetable oil
Sour Cream
Chives or dill
Directions:
Grate potatoes into a bowl. Add onions, egg, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Brush a large skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop as many 1/8-cup measures of potato mixture into skillet or a griddle as possible to fit on a skillet leaving enough space between each one. Flatten with a spatula into 1/4-inch-thick pancakes.
Cook latkes 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Serve with sour cream and dill and/or chives.
