👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the cheese, eggs, flour and sugar into a smooth, thick batter.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Heat the oil in a 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
    Drop tbsp of batter into the pan, spaced apart, and flatten lightly into rounds.
    Frying pan
  4. 4
    Fry 3–4 minutes per side, until the latkes are golden.
