Makes
24 latkes
Vegetable
oil for frying
1
cup flour, any flour, including gluten-free
4
eggs
1
medium onion, grated in a food processor
Salt
and pepper to taste
Pinch
nutmeg
8
large Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled
Heat
1/3 inch oil in a heavy frying pan until very hot. While the oil is heating,
place the flour, eggs, onion, salt and pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl, and mix
thoroughly. Quickly grate the potatoes in a food processor, and immediately
stir them into the batter, making sure not to squeeze so as not to extract
unwanted extra moisture. Work very quickly so they do not have time to get
discolored. Form small patties, and lower them into the hot oil, or drop the
batter by heaping tablespoons. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes on each side.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
