We love to eat potato skins, but I got tired of just using the starch that we scooped out for mashed potatoes. I thought: "Hmmm, I could shape it into pancakes and make latkes, that could be interesting." They were such a hit with the family that this recipe has been a staple ever since!

Yield:
5 latkes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups peeled and mashed baked potatoes

  • 1 cup chopped white onion

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground multi-colored peppercorns

  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 2 eggs, whisked

  • 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil, or as need for frying

Directions

  1. Place potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, ground peppercorns, flour, and eggs into a bowl. Fold the mixture together with a rubber spatula, breaking up any large potato chunks, until ingredients are evenly mixed.

  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Form latke dough into 3-inch diameter balls and flatten into 1-inch thick rounds.

  4. Working in batches, place latkes in hot oil and cook until edges are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip latkes using a slotted spoon and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
