Ingredients
-
3 LB – Russet Potatoes
-
1 - Onion
-
4 – Eggs
-
1 C – Flour
-
2 t – Bacon Bomb- Jalapeno Hickory
Directions
Using a box grater or the grating attachment on your food processor, roughly grate the potatoes and onion. Place them in a bowl.
Working quickly to avoid browning of the potatoes, stir in the flour, eggs and bacon bomb until well combined.
In a large skillet over medium/high heat, bring oil to temperature. There should be about ¼” of oil in the pan.
Take ¼ cup at a time of the latke mix and shape into a small puck. Place in the oil and pan fry. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes or until brown and crispy. They should be about ½” thick. You should be able to fir 3-4 in the pan at a time.
Once cooked, place the latkes on a paper towel lined plate to dry some of the excess oil.
Repeat the process until all the batter is gone.
Sprinkle with a little flaked salt and serve with applesauce or sour cream.
