The Gold Family Latkes
A recipe from the NBC Today Show (1999)
Serves 6
Active time: 40 minutes
Start to finish: 1 1/2 hr.
This recipe makes two large latkes (which are cut into small wedges for
serving), as opposed to the more common individual latkes
2 lb large boiling potatoes
3 tablespoons coarsely grated onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Cook potatoes in salted water to cover until barely tender, about 15-20
minutes. Rinse under cold water. Cool potatoes and peel with a sharp knife.
Coarsely shred potatoes lengthwise (long strands help hold the latkes
together) into a bowl using the large holes of a grater and stir in onion,
salt and white pepper to taste.
Heat one tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat
until hot but not smoking, then add half of potatoes, spreading with a
spatula to form an even cake. Cook until the underside is golden brown,
10-12 minutes. Invert a large plate over skillet and invert latke onto
plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and slide latke back in. Cook until
underside is brown, 10-12 minutes.
Slide latke onto serving plate and keep warm. Make another in the same
manner.
Cut latkes into wedges and serve with apple-cranberry sauce.
