Crispy Potato and Cheese Latkes- Janet style!

This tasty recipe is a favourite of my sweetheart and we eat these latkes for Brunch on the weekends quite often!! Two potatoes will make four latkes. Here is the ingredient list:

  • 2 organic potatoes, skins on (you will boil these in a pot of salted water and cook for 10 minutes then, peel once cool)
  • 1 small organic onion, grated
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese, either, Gruyere or extra old Cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons of parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of oregano
  • organic sunflower oil

Step 1. Grate the boiled and peeled potatoes. Stir in the grated onion, cheese, and parsley and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2. Shape into 4 equal size cakes, or balls (as pictured in above image), then flatten with a spatula and form sides so they are even.

Step 3. Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil on griddle or frying pan. USE SPATULA TO PLACE LATKES on HEATED GRILL. Be CAREFUL so they don't fall apart and cook for 1 minute on high heat, then reduce heat a little and cook for 5 minutes on med-high so they are crispy on one side, then flip over and cook on other side until crispy, about 5 minutes.

I recommend serving these delicious latkes with scrambled eggs and a dollop of yogourt with cilantro on top and sliced tomatoes and avocado on the side. Also pictured below is watermelon juice, made with fresh watermelon from the market, a little cold water and a few ice cubes, blended up. This refreshing drink is the perfect accompaniment to serve with this delightful brunch!
