Potato Latkes

Step 1

Grate potatoes and onions on a large-hole grater. Splash with lemon juice and squeeze out excess water.

Step 2

Mix flour, milk, egg, baking powder, and nutmeg. Add to the potatoes and then add the melted butter.

Step 3

Heat some peanut oil in a skillet and fry until golden on one side. Flip, and cook the same way on the other.

Step 4

Serve with watercress, caviar, applesauce, and creme fraiche.

Step 5

**For Passover, omit the baking powder and replace the flour with matzo (ground into flour), which will make a slightly denser latke. Fry it slowly.
