~ * POTATO 'Latkes'/Cakes (Polish cuisine - International Cookery) !! ~

* THIS recipe is a favourite of ours and we double the quantity (so the Potato cakes go abit further) !

Number of Potato Cakes: 8.

Cooking time: 8-10 minutes each panful.

Cooking utensil: frying pan.

Ingredients:

1/2lb. potatoes

1/2 small onion

1 tablespoon flour

1-2 oz. olive oil or sunflower for frying

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 shakes of your choice of pepper


Method:

1. Weigh and measure all ingredients.

2. Peel and grate potatoes and onion. Drain off as much liquid as possible (quickly use a small-hole sieve if necessary to drain just the liquid)!

3. Add flour to potato and onion, then seasonings and beaten egg.

4. Heat small quantity of fat in pan. Drop mixture in, a level tablespoon at a time.

5. Fry slowly, turning when brown on first side.

6. When cooked, immediately drain 'cakes' on enough paper towel to absorb any extra oil.

7. Serve at once while still hot!


Bon Apetit
