Recipe View In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat approximately 1/4 inch of peanut oil over medium-high heat. Proceed with caution to ensure the oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully drop generous spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the heated oil, gently pressing down to shape patties, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Fry until a deep golden-brown crust develops, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Flip with care and repeat on the other side. (20 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the freshly fried latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to eliminate excess oil. Serve immediately while still hot and crispy. (5 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a dash of garlic powder to the potato mixture.
Experiment with different toppings! Classic applesauce and sour cream are always a hit, but try smoked salmon, chives, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a modern twist.
Adjust the amount of flour depending on the moisture content of your potatoes. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour, a teaspoon at a time.
