Ingredients

  • 1.5 teaspoons cajun spice to taste
  •  eggs beaten
  • 0.3 cup spring onion chopped
  • 0.3  onion shredded
  • cups potatoes shredded peeled

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a cloth, and wring them to remove as much moisture as possible.
  2. Mix the potatoes, onion, green onion, eggs, flour, and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  3. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers (oil should be about 1/3 inch deep). Drop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil, and flatten the potatoes to make the patties 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Brown the patties in the hot oil until golden and crisp on the bottom, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side.
  4. Drain the latkes on paper towels, and serve hot.
