Ingredients
1 dozen medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
3/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup grated cheese, your choice
10 cloves garlic, baked 30 minutes @350
1/4 lb bacon, diced, cooked till crisp
Toppers:
tomatoes, chopped
chives, chopped
cottage cheese or sour cream
apple sauce
Preparation
First get the garlic baking while peeling the potatoes and grating them.
in a small bowl, mix together the flour, eggs, salt, and then the mashed garlic cloves.
Add the cheese to the potatoes, then, with clean hands, pour the flour/egg mixture onto the potatoes and work it into the shredded mixture until there are no clumps of flour, all is coated well. Mix in the crumbled bacon.
In a medium-high fry pan, pour 1 tblsp. canola oil, and in 1/4 cup quantities, put in the potatoe latkes, flattening them thin after putting them in the fry pan, Let them cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, adjusting your heat so that they don’t burn in that time. If they brown too quickly, they taste raw in the middle.
