    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the latkes 3–4 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crisp.

    💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
  6. 6
    Serve with yogurt and herbs.
