Mom's Potato Latkes

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups shredded potato

¼ cup grated onion

6 saltine crackers, or as needed, crushed

2 large eggs, beaten

½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Combine potato, onion, crushed crackers, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Heat 1/4 inch oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Drop spoonfuls of potato mixture, first pressing mixture against side of the bowl to remove excess liquid, into hot oil; slightly flatten latkes with the back of a spoon to make an even thickness.

Cook in batches until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain latkes on a paper towel-lined plate.
