Latkes

Latkes

• 2 lbs potatoes, grated
• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 shallot, halved and sliced
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp garlic, chopped finely
• 2 tbsp rice flour
• 1 tbsp AP flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
• Oil for frying
  Grate the potatoes and set aside in some cold water. Combine all the other ingredients. Drain the potatoes, and squeeze to get the water out. I take batches and place them in a tea towel or dish rag. Twist the ends to wring the potatoes and let the water drain. Add the potatoes to the mix. Heat neutral oil (like canola) in a pan over medium heat. Take a handful of the mixture, squeeze out any additional liquid you can and place into the pan. Fry until GB&D on one side, flip and finish on the other. Serve with sour cream and apple sauce.
