6 large potatoes
4 tbsp. flour
1 large onion
salt and black pepper
Olive oil
1 egg
Finely shred the potatoes and the onion in a food processor. Drain off any excess liquid.
Mix the grated potatoes and onion, beaten egg, salt and pepper, and flour in a bowl.
Heat a skillet over a medium flame.
Coat the skillet with 1 to 2 tbsp. oil.
Form the potato mixture into small cakes - 2 to 3 tbsp. of potato per cake. Don't make the cakes too big; they're easier to turn when small.
Flatten the cakes slightly with a spatula.
Cook until the latkes are nice and brown on the bottom, then turn and cook the other side.
