Killer Hash Browns (Hannakah Potato Latkes)

'

I try not to eat hash browns too often, because they are not really that healthy, but when I do, I enjoy every bite. 

This is a recipe that my daughter Lily brought home from school. They were talking about Hanukkah and, of course,  potato latkes were a part of the discussion. If you don't know what potato latkes are, they are a traditional Hanukkah dish and are pretty much...hash browns. They eat them with sour cream (yum) or apple sauce (Yuck! Not a good combo, in my opinion). This is, pretty much, the best hash brown recipe ever. 

INGREDIENTS:

5 large potatoes, washed, peeled and grated

2 large eggs

1/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

oil for frying

Wash, peel and grate five potatoes.

Strain the water/juice.  

I even mash it down to really get the liquid out. Now put them into a bowl. 

Now beat two large eggs. 

Mix them into to the the potatoes.

Now mix in 1/4 cup flour.

Now mix in 1/2 a teaspoon salt.

Heat about a 1/4 cup of oil in the bottom of a large pot or pan (over medium heat).

Take an ice cream scoop of potato mixture  and...

put it into the hot oil, flatten it out and cook it until brown on each side. 

Put it on paper towels to soak up the grease.

I like  to eat mine with eggs. Enjoy.
