👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1

  2. 2
    Heat the oil generously in a wide pan over medium heat.

    💡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.
  3. 3
    Dip your hands in flour and shape the mixture into flattened balls the size of a golf ball.
  4. 4
    Fry 3–4 minutes per side, until the latkes are golden.
    Stove
  5. 5
    Transfer the latkes to paper towels.
    Paper towels
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the powdered sugar on top.
  7. 7
    Serve the cheese latkes hot with Sour cream.
