A few modifications; after grating the potatoes, squeeze them in your hands over the sink to remove excess fluid and starch. Finely chopping the onion yields a bit better separation and better flavor after cooking. Add a Tablespoon or two of lemon juice and mix well to bring the PH of the alkaline potatoes closer to neutral, it makes all the difference. By all means use clarified butter or bacon grease and you almost must use a cast iron skillet to get that deep crust. Place on paper towel to remove excess grease. Remember to salt a bit after cooking.
Thank God finally someone who knows how to make a potato latkes I’ve never ever squeezed and drained all the fluid out of my potatoes I feel it takes the flavor away 🥰
They look crispy and light. I look forward to trying them! Thank you.
Thx for all the “grate” tips. 😆 The paper bag under the paper towel is helpful!
These are just like Grandma's potato pancakes and the way I still make them today! My grandma used to put a little bit of ham in them to sometimes. Topped with applesauce of course.
My mouth watered. Loved your demo.
Thanks for the cooking lessons, like managing the pan’s heat and using the paper bag and convection oven as well as the great recipe.
thank you Barbara, keep watching; new content coming soon!
Exactly how I watched my mother make them. We always have them with a side bowl of buttermilk as a cold soup with a little salt pepper and I still do this because I love it. Sour cream nice too. Thank you I just love you.
thank you, Maryann!

Aunt Susie....I used my hands for years, too. I'm 62 so I've been cooking a LONG time! I also have artificial nails and rings. I found plastic gloves on ebay for $1 for 100 about two years ago. I am hooked! I always hated having to stick my hand in things, especially meatloaf, but you have to for incorporation. Your mother is right...hands are the best! Being a former nurse, I was just always conscious of my nails and kept a nail brush at my sink to clean them. But, the gloves are great! Love them so much and I don't worry about the germs anymore :) Handwashing works....I was always more worried about what was under my nails :) Try them and see if you like them.....at a dollar a pack, you are not losing much :)
@@mrscashmorrisey1702 I disagree with you. It is why surgeons wash their hands for 10 minutes. It is why we wear gloves in surgery or to clean a wound. You cannot get the nails clean in a normal handwash. I had to teach my kids about washing their nails by scrubbing in the palm of their hands. Most people do not know that. Handwashing is the false sense of security. I taught my kids to say their ABCs but most people do a quick 15 sec wash. I was commenting on what I do, not what everyone else does. Do you honestly think that people who are smart enough to use gloves in their kitchen reuse penny plastic gloves? LOL I'll pay the dollar a pack to escape food poisoning, Mrs. Cash. LOL I wouldn't eat in your kitchen with that attitude.
@@mrscashmorrisey1702 I don't visit neighborhoods like yours :) Dangerous,, high crime, nasty kitchens....so sorry for you! Now, go mix your meat loaf with your nasty fingernails and be sure and clean them with your teeth! LOLOLOL It's all good, MrsKnowItAll!
Looks great, I can almost taste them☺
I really like your preference of adding the sliced green onions. Thx for your video!
Wonderful video - loved it. I made some recently and placed the potatoes in a colander with a bowl underneath the catch the liquid. I placed a paper towel on top which I pressed into the potatoes to press out and absorb some water, then left it there to prevent the oxidation until ready to mix them.
Very yummy, mouth watering!!!
Love your video and your calming voice. I made potato pancakes from leftover mashed potatoes. I make latkes when a few potatoes are on their way out.
Love that! thank you
My mom used to make the out of mashed potatoes also, hated them! Loved how my dad would pretty much follow your recipe and would fry the up in a good amount of bacon grease.
ThT can’t be very healthy but goood!
Was so glad to see how you make potato cakes....looks so good!
M K thank you 🙏🏻
wow i love this Crispy Potato pancakes.
Thank you for sharing your recipe
My pleasure 😊
Love this. And the paper bag trick is what I use when making homemade fries. Absorbs the oil. Never thought to lay it down too. Thanks :)
This video is perfection!
Learned how to make my potato pancakes crispy! Thank you! 😀🥔
Love listening to you. You're such a good teacher and you're very interesting.
Yy
I have been making the same potatoes cakes for years to make my food go more. It was my hash browns potatoes. My kids love them
Thank you for teaching me about 'recovery time' when frying. I'm an old dog learning a new trick.
Wow they look so good! Can't wait to cook them myself.
Sour cream and 🍷👅 😜 !!
Joanna Edwards you are very welcome!!! Enjoy!
Will try to do these. You make it look easy. You have a gift of cooking and thanks for sharing
I just made them they taste real good thanks for the recipe I will be looking forward in seeing more of your recipes on post
Patricia Hansen thank you,Patricia. So nice to hear!!!
Those look absolutely delicious!!
Love the precise instructions about the heat of the pan
After mixing the potatoes and onions you might want to squeeze the mixture through a cheese cloth over a measuring cup. Once the liquid settles, gently pour off the liquid and the remaining starch will be left in the bottom. Mix this potato starch with your eggs to create a nice binder for the latkes. Add this mixture to your potatoes and then fry.
GVanet wouldn't that remove the onion juice too?
@@JR6191947 was thinking same..wring potatos separately?
Ring the potatoes out using cheesecloth or muslin prior to putting in the onion. This is something my grandmother used to do to make sure they're crispy..
@@JesusistheOnlyWay222 n
You make this just like my mother use to unfortunately she passed away and i never got her to do this on video! Even the green onions she added! Thanks for sharing this video im going to make this for my daughter she's going to love it...
thank you, sorry for your loss
I like to ad dried rosemary and garlic granules in mine 👍
Thanks for the vid
When we were kids 50 years ago here in Australia.. for some reason these were called ‘mock fish ‘ ! Always tasted good 👍
You could probably pop a bit of corn or peas in there too like a Vege fritter
Thank you for clearly explaining your methods, I'm trying it right now.
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Thanks for sharing, I will try this 💖
Soak Potatoes in Water after shredding to prevent brownness....My first time here... Excited!!! Subscribed.
Thank you for this potato pancake. You gave me a good idea of cooking potato.❤🎉😊
Definitely a thumbs up I used to make my corn beef hash this way great everything even the corn beef and the onions and the potato I always turned out perfect👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Was a nice video, thanks for sharing and your voice was nice and soft spoken
I've been dong this with grated zucchini for years! I made up the recipe myself and had no idea that potato latkes were made the same way. The bit about draining off the liquid is even more important when using the zucchini. They seem to have a lot more moisture than potatoes.
Your potatoes look scrumptious! When I make them I don't use flour. I add caraway seeds for a special flavor. Also, I feel that putting potatoes in an oven after there cooked may dry them out. Finally, I like apple sauce with my potatoes.
I don't use flour either!
Oh yum...I remember these were my very favourite food as a child....I always used to say to my mum " When I grow up I'm going to make these for dinner every night" she would just smile.....I've made them a lot in 36 years marriage but not every night lol
Yumm potato pancakes with crisp bacon and sour cream with a side of homemade applesauce. I'm dying here.
That is so nice .good job👍👍👍
I am German too, like other people that commented. We always called this Reibekuchen. They are always delicious! Great Video Susie!
Thanks for watching!
😲 My stepmother used to make potato pancake. My family ate it woth apple sauce.....??MMmmmm. Dilish👍🏼
I like the square non-stick skillet!! ☺️👍
I think I know what you mean about "pan recovery time"! ☺️
Those looked delicious!
When I make rosti (similar, but no flour or egg), I grate the potato into a clean cloth, gather up the corners, and squeeze out the excess water.
good idea. thanks
I"ts also very helpful for having starch as little as possibile in the potatoes..bc it's drained out..Maybe very few people know. that for high cholesterol...it's responsible the starch that is in the food.like potatoes which has a high amount of starch.& not eggs..:-)
I love potato pancakes, when I was a kid, we couldn't eat meat on Friday, and potato pancakes were our choice for dinner, right behind a fish fry. Love mine with butter and syrup.
Kathleen Lock what a great memory, thank you for sharing!
No meat friday.. Ain't no friday of mine!! 😆
Looks GREAT!!
As for the paper bag..always use unstained ones. Then cut them up, and ONLY use the INSIDE layer of the bag. Works fine. 😀
Taught the same thing!
mmmmmm, my mouth is watering, can't wait to try them, thank you!!
Hope you enjoy them!
My favorite poor man's meal....I'm watching for tips on less mushy...you illustrated some squeezing out the juice, moving the potatoes away from liquids building up in the pan bottom, and keeping the cooking surface sufficently hot...I'll try all those ideas !!
I had the same thing fried with apple sauce an sour cream. Still one the best things I've ever tried.
First of all they look delicious. Secondly to the people complaining about the nails you are not eating the latkes this is an instructional video, would it be better if her nails were not taken care of, with dirt under her nails, broken, and looking barley. Keep up the wonderful videos and I for one is trying this recipe.
I agree it is a good recipe n good to try but as demonstrator it is better to cut nails short.
Absolute brilliant recipe one of the best well worth trying
thank you!
Nice job. Thank you. I am blessed to have a SaladMaster grater, and one can grate the potatoes in a few short minutes. :)
So simple yet delicious.
I have discovered that by taking a potato ricer, you can squeeze a lot of the moisture out. Less messy than squeezing through a cloth.
Great food; I use almost the exact same recipe (I use a lot of black pepper, I love it) but after grating the potatoes and onions, you might want to try waiting for five or ten minutes then squeezing the potatoes/onions in cheesecloth to get the water out.
Yes, I do that, too. A flour sack towel works, as well.
Hal Wakka I put them in cold water and let them sit for a while. You’ll get some of the starch settled in the bottom.i scoop out the potatoes carefully and drain off most of the water. You may need or want some starch and you’ll have some.
Hal Wakka no coz its lesson the original taste
Water doesn't wash out the flavour, it just makes them crispier when they cook.
Thank you for the video Susan! It was extremely helpful and love the tips you inserted about frying on high heat and getting rid of liquid
so simple to make will defo give them a go Thank's
They look lovely
I’m making these tonight! Yum!
Great recipe, Thank You!
Been buying these because I love them. Now I know how. Save me some money and I,m sure they will taste better. Thanks
I'll make this for breakfast, THANK you.... THUMBS up.
Wouldn’t it be better to place your grated potatoes in a colander over a bowl, to drain the liquid that will come from the potatoes?
🇬🇧 Definitely. And use a perforated spoon to squeeze out the water.
L. S. That's what I do!!
The only thing different I’d do is rinse the potatoes off after grating them to get that brown off and wring them dry.
Thats the way my czech grandmother and my german wife does it !
Use to just take cold mashed potatoes and fry them in grease or oil and I called them potatoes cakes! .... Lol 😆 Funny Good video 📹 thanks ❤
thats what they are, just add celery onions, or your veggies, egg as a binder. flour. fry,in oil, eat.
They taste so good with applesauce too!
Yummy potato pancakes
Thanks for all the tips and for causing my mouth to water! Haha
nailbiter310 lol thanks for watching!
Aunt Susie's Kitchen of course!
I use baking powder also and grate potatoes on smallest grate and make sure to get all liquid out
Great Potato pancakes!
I am just eating these..they are fabulous thank you ☺💜
Glad you like them!
Washing the potato in water gets rid of the starch. Then squeeze them dry and then maybe air dry some so that your pancakes will be crispy.
the starch is a necessary component in keeping your potato pancakes from falling apart.
@@AuntSusiesKitchen Potato water is flavor and vitamins.
Yummy! Thanks and good night!
I use the cast iron skillet! but needs a lot of oil (about 1" of oil in the pan), and then go low and slow. The cast iron solves the problem of the uneven heat which is why you are turning the heat up and down. It's what cast iron does best! If you have a good cast iron that has developed it's patina food never sticks. Also, one tip for the liquid ... I get a sturdy, linen kitchen towel, put the potato AND the onion in the towel and then twist like a tootsie roll and keep twisting till it's squeezed out. The grated onion adds a lot of liquid to the mix as well as the liquid leeching from the potato. And ... just for giggles ... try adding other additives? I've done them with jalapenos, chipotles, chopped black olives (the best), diced garlic, and finely diced red bell pepper.. . get creative and have fun! I do parties for 10 or more and do small batches w different additives.
Looks great!
Potato pancakes was a always a favorite growing up, but never really master making them myself. This looks doable and delicious. Gonna try em. Thanks for sharing and for the good tips.
I make these. I use a salad shooter to grate the potatoes. Life changing!
Looks good!!...your mom is right!!...my mom always said "fingers were made before forks!!" 😂
Wow looking delicious
Love it
Looks good yummy yummy I got to try
Patricia Hansen thank you! I hope you watch more of our videos!!
I love Latkes Yummy.
My favourite. Allan
I'm not even Jewish,and I love potato pancakes!
Why are so many people complaining about the nails, the pancakes look delicious. Her hands are clean. Enjoy the damn pancakes and quit being so persnickety, thank her for the recipe and make the pancakes at home with short nails and clean hands
exactly..most people watching youtube just to comment non sense..
Agree with you on that! 💅💅💅
Looks soooo good, love potato pancakes............good with applesauce, and a side of sour cream as well.
Also fantastic with smoked salmon!!!
Love your video
Pernille Warren thank you!!
My father taught me to squeeze out the water from the shredded potatoes before making hashbrowns. I like this recipe so now its off to the kitchen.
Woah no idea how I ended up here love fast food its late and I was just watching Delta Parole Music Videos and now I am here and getting hungry for this. Time to eat after I watch. lel
I wanted to see if she was going to set a record for saying, "go ahead and..." Not quite, but she's right up there with the best of 'em.
Lol funny how many people do that...and I always think " hmmm why would I go ahead and skip the necessary steps?" Beauty you tubers are so bad for doing it!

I agree Susies kitchen. My Mother and Grandmother did too , yes with lots of love and their hands were immaculate , but my dear with all due respect, you missed my point. I mean they they didn’t work in the kitchen with handling food with long nails. That was my point I was trying to make. The recipe is wonderful , and many ladies do have gorgeous nails, but maybe food gloves are a good idea when we want to have our nails. Just for when mixing or when the food can get in our nails. In the old days that’s how they did it anyway. I’m one of those old gals, so I consider myself kind of old fashion at times in the kitchen. The old gals thought that way anyhow.
You say your hands are clean not them long nails germs germs
Jodha Akbar: You said it! I'm not as polite as you so I will add that I found those nails very off-putting. Either one is a lady of leisure and lets the help do all the cooking, cleaning and dusting or one cooks and when one cooks (especially when one cooks and has one's hands photographed) long claws are off-putting in the extreme.
Ok haterz
Love it i try too 😊😍😋
Racel 143 thank you!!!
great recipe!!
That looks like hash browns/potato fritters. Yum
Yup. That was how I was taught to cook hashbrowns.
These would be better on a rack instead of paper. Woukd remain crispier that way.
Susie’s latkes look delicious. But I was taught that you had to lightly salt the grated potatoes and allow them to drain and then put the shredded potatoes in a clean tea towel and wring out an excess water there might be. Does anyone else do this?
Yep.
Sure do
Yes, I definitely do!!
Yes, otherwise they can be sloppy and fall apart.
Yup. 👌
If you grate some onion intermittently then it stops the oxidizing
It’s looks great
I'm going to try your wonderful recipe tomorrow. Beautiful hands!
thank you Gary! let us know how it comes out!
Thank you for tge tips.. About paper bag
i like it.
one day i wll make it
I use a similar method but with an egg and a bit of baking powder to help as binder. Looks delicious.
Woooowww so yummy and easy to make love it.......all the time cooking using your hands if clean is no problims.....ilove long nails......she have a awesome nails love it
