Easiest Latkes Ever

Steps

1. Using a box grater, grate the onion. Place the hash browns and grated onion in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to release all the excess liquid (there will be a lot). Transfer to a large bowl.
2. To bowl, add the flour, salt, and eggs. Mix well. In a 12-inch high-walled skillet, heat 3 tbsp oil on medium-low. Drop ¼-cup mounds of potato mixture into the skillet. Cook 3–4 min. on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook 2 min. Transfer finished latkes to baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as needed.
3. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and everything bagel seasoning. Serve the apple butter and sour cream with the latkes.

Tips

To keep your finished latkes warm after frying, transfer them to a foil-lined baking sheet and place in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.

To make your own everything bagel seasoning, combine ¼ cup sesame seeds, 2 tbsp poppy seeds, 2 tbsp dried minced onion, 1 tsp coarse ground black pepper, and ¼ tsp coarse sea salt.
