Latkas

Directions

1. 1
   Grate potatoes, put into a large bowl and sprinkle with baking soda (the baking soda helps release the excess liquid from the potatoes) and spoon off the liquid. The more liquid you get out the better.
2. 2
   Grate onions.
3. 3
   Mix remaining ingredients with the potatoes.
4. 4
   Heat cooking oil in a large skillet.
5. 5
   Use a large spoon to scoop batter and put into hot oil, making cakes about 4 inches in diameter.
6. 6
   When crisp on the bottom, carefully turn over and cook until the other side is crisp.
7. 7
   Remove from oil, drain on paper towels and repeat until all the cakes are made.
