Serve potato pancakes for holiday celebrations

Potato pancakes are traditionally served during Chanukah celebrations. This dish is often referred to as “latkes,” a Yiddish word that loosely translates to “little oily thing.”
Potato pancakes are not exclusive to Jewish celebrations and cuisine. Many potato pancake recipes are quite similar. They involve only a few ingredients and fry up in a flash.
LATKES
3 large potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 small onion, shredded
3 large eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ cup vegetable oil
1. Place potatoes and onion into a bowl, and stir in eggs, salt and flour as needed to make the mixture hold together. With wet hands, scoop up about 1/3 cup of the mixture per patty, and form into flat round or oval shapes.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and gently place the patties into the hot oil. Fry until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes, then flip with a spatula and fry the other side until golden.
3. Line a colander or strainer with two paper towels, and drain the cooked latkes in the colander. Serve hot.
