Potato Latkes

The Post Punk Kitchen's Latke recipe is pretty flawless and quite versatile. I've even used ground up Caribbean crackers in place of matzo meal and had very good results. Make sure you use vegetable oil over olive oil for frying.

Here is the recipe my family uses, veganized:

6   russet or idaho potatoes, grated
1   small onion, grated (wear goggles!)
3   eggs worth of replacer
1 tsp   salt
1/4 tsp   pepper
1/4 c   flour
1 tbsp   oil
2 tsp   baking powder
vegetable oil for frying

Grate potatoes and drain well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop from a spoon into hot oil and brown both sides. Makes about 24 latkes.
