Ingredients
1 lb. baking potatoes (about 3), peeled
1 small onion
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup oil, divided
3/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
3/4 cup applesauce
1 tbs chopped fresh chives
Directions

1. Grate potatoes, then onion using large holes of a box grater; place in the center of a large clean kitchen towel. Bring up the ends of the towel and twist them together to form a pouch. Hold the pouch over the sink, then squeeze to remove as much moisture from the vegetables as possible. Empty vegetable mixture into a large bowl. Add eggs, flour, and pepper; mix well.

 

2. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. For each latke, carefully drop 1/4 cup potato mixture into a skillet, cooking 6 latkes at a time. Press with the back of a spatula to flatten. Cook for 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove latkes from skillet; drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil and potato mixture.

 

3. Serve warm topped with remaining ingredients.
