Potato Latkes

By joejudy

Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes
• 1 extra-large egg, whisked
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons clarified butter

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them on a box grater. Wrap the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the potatoes in a bowl with the egg, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Melt the clarified butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of the potato mixture into the sizzling butter and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and golden brown. Serve the pancakes hot from the skillet.
