Jump to instructions
Ingredients
- ½ pound Yukon Gold potatoes (2 medium-sized potatoes)
- ½ pound Brussels sprouts (about 12 sprouts)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup matzo meal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Freshly Ground Black pepper
Instructions
- Remove any dark spots from 1/2 pound of potatoes and trim the ends of 1/2 pound of Brussels sprouts.
- Run the potatoes, length-wise, through a food processor or use a cheese grater. This is very important when making latkes. You want to remove any excess water from the base. I roll the potatoes in a towel, then place them in a colander to dry. You can also use cheesecloth. You just want them to be very dry.
- Shred the Brussels sprouts.
- Whisk 2 eggs and then whisk in 1/4 cup of Matzo Meal flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Work in the potatoes until they are completely covered.
- Then fold in the shredded Brussels sprouts. I do this because I want that green to pop!
- Add enough oil to an iron skillet so that it's about 1/4? deep, and then warm it over a medium high heat until it is shimmering.
- Drop a heap of the latke mixture into the skillet and flatten it out, letting it sizzle. Cook it for about 2 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy. Then flip.
- When cooked on both sides, remove from the skillet and place on a towel to remove the excess oil.
- Serve with a spoonful of sour cream on top, garnish with green onions and fresh ground pepper.
