LACY LATKES WITH SWEET BALSAMIC SAUCE

"THE MIRACLE OF OIL"
The story of Hanukkah celebrates the miracle of olive oil, when a day's worth of oil burned for eight days. Today, the holiday is celebrated by lighting menorahs and preparing holiday foods such as latkes. We have a variety of stunning fresh oils that will help you celebrate this ancient feast and respecting Hanukkah's meaning.

 

SERVES: 6
INGREDIENTS:

3 medium russet potatoes, peeled & grated
1 medium onion, grated
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tbsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 - 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

 DIRECTIONS:

Peel potatoes and coarsely grate or use a food processor. Place them in a bowl of cold water. Drain and squeeze out liquid. Transfer them along with grated onion, eggs, flour, salt and pepper and mix well. In a large non-stick frying pan add oil to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat oil on medium to medium-high heat. Add a generous tbsp of the mixture to hot oil or more if you wish larger latkes. Fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter adding more oil as needed. Remove latkes to a plate lined with paper towel. Serve immediately.  If made in advance you can reheat in 400 degree oven. Serve with Pomegranate sauce and sour cream.
