Emeril's special latkes

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ pounds Baking potatoes; peeled
1 medium Onion; julienned
2 Eggs
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon Baking powder
2 tablespoons Matzah or all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil for frying
1 cup Applesauce
1 cup Sour cream
4 ounces Caviar

Directions

Using a hand grater or food processor, grate the potatoes. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, onions, eggs, baking powder, and flour.

Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cover the bottom with ½-inch of oil. When the oil is hot, spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling into individual cakes. Using the back of the spoon, flatten each pancake. Pan-fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Fry the cakes in batches and do not over crowd the pan. To serve, place a dollop of the applesauce or sour cream in the center of each latke. Place the latkes on a platter and serve warm.

Yield: 2 dozen
