Quick and Crispy Potato Latkes

Instructions

1. 1

   Using the most course side of a grater, grate the potatoes and onion

2. 2

   Transfer the grater mixture to a clean dishtowel and wring out as much of the liquid as possible

3. 3

   Quickly transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed

4. 4

   Pour Kosterina Organic Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a medium heavy-bottomed pan until it fills about 1/4 inch. Once the oil is hot, use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter into the pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula or spoon to flatten and shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the Latkes are brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Repeat until the batter runs out.
