Fried Eggs and Latkes

 

Another Smitten Kitchen recipe. This is a nice change from hashbrowns and a great little breakfast.

Ingredients:
1 large baking potato, peeled
1 small onion, peeled
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
vegetable oil
fried eggs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 and line a baking sheet with foil. In a food processor or with a box grater, coarsely shred the potato and onion. Transfer it to a cheesecloth or paper towel or dish cloth and drain it. In a large bowl whisk the flour, egg, baking powder, salt, pepper, ad egg together. Stir in the potato mixture until all the pieces are evenly coated.

In a large cast iron skillet, heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil until it shimmers. Add potato mixture 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, into the pan and flatten it with the back of a spoon into a big round.

Cook about 4 minutes per side.

Heat in the oven until all finished. Cook fried eggs and put them on top of the latkes. Top with chives if you have them.
