   How to make Jewish hash browns latkes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list, as well as equipment and a frying pan for frying them. Wash the root vegetables thoroughly with a brush and dry. Sift the wheat flour through a fine sieve.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes with a vegetable peeler. Place the colander in a deep bowl. Grate the peeled potatoes on a medium grater, then place them in a colander and leave for 30 minutes to drain excess liquid from the potatoes.

   Preheat the oven to 100°C. After half an hour, squeeze out the potatoes and let the juice flow directly into the bowl. Now drain the accumulated liquid from the bowl where the potatoes drained. There should be a white sediment at the bottom of the container - this is potato starch. Leave it, it will come in handy.

We love and respect potato pancakes very much. By chance I came across a recipe - latkes for Hanukkah, Jewish pancakes. A very interesting recipe for our usual potato cakes, but without eggs, but with sour cream. I decided to try to make a Jewish dish. I peeled the potatoes, washed them, grated them coarsely and squeezed out excess moisture with my hands. I added wheat flour, sour cream, salt and freshly ground pepper according to the recipe. I also added chopped fresh dill. Fry the flatbreads in hot oil on both sides over medium heat until golden brown. And to make sure they were fried, at the end I simmered them a little under the lid. Then I patted the tortillas with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Great recipe! We really liked the Jewish-style golden pancakes. They are tasty, filling, aromatic and appetizing. It was a great snack. The whole family enjoyed the hash browns in a new way. And I served them with sour cream. Well, it's very tasty. Many thanks to the author!

For the sake of testing, I baked potato pancakes, using only half of the recommended amount of ingredients. I didn’t make the sauce; I wanted to know what the potato pancakes would be like without it. Nothing special, ordinary pancakes
