Preparation

Peel and shred potatoes; place potato shreds in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.

When potatoes are all shredded, drain water from bowl, and spread shreds out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, roll and squeeze out excess liquid.

Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and mix with eggs, salt and flour; mix in onions and garlic and blend well.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat; when oil is hot, spoon 2 tablespoons of potato mixture for each latke into pan and flatten out with a fork; cook until golden brown (approx. 3 minutes) and flip over to cook the other side; when done, cool and drain on a clean paper towel; repeat until all potatoes are cooked. 

Season with additional salt & pepper, if desired, and serve.

Notes and Suggestions

Serve with apple sauce or sour cream for a great flavor.
