An authentic European recipe for potato pancakes that is perfect for your Hanukkah celebration.

Ingredients

10 russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1 onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbs. chopped flat leaf parsley
1 Tbs. chopped fresh dill
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/4 C. olive oil
2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 C. dry bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying, as needed

Directions

Mix potatoes, carrot, onion, garlic, parsley, and dill in a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, flour, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Knead just until mixture holds together. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop spoonfuls of potato mixture in hot oil. Cook approximately 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve hot with fresh sour cream, if desired.
