Ingredients

Make it together

  1. Wash and peel the potatoes. An adult grates the potatoes and onion; squeeze out extra moisture using a clean towel.
  2. Mix the grated vegetables with eggs, flour and salt.
  3. An adult heats a thin layer of oil in a skillet and cooks small spoonfuls until both sides are browned and the centers are cooked through.
  4. Transfer to a paper towel, let cool slightly and serve with the topping your family likes.
Family safety note

Hot oil, the grater and stove are adult jobs. Check egg, wheat and dairy needs. Families have many latke traditions; adapt this version to yours.
