One of best parts about having a Jewish husband is getting to celebrate Hanukkah and making all the latkes. 

I would eat these regardless of the holiday, but it has become a tradition in our home and it just adds more to the holiday spirit. 

No matter what holiday you celebrate, I suggest you try these easy homemade latkes, also known as potato pancakes. They are made with simple ingredients and fun for your little ones to help with as well.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion shredded
• 1 bag (20 oz) of Simply Shredded Hash Browns
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
• 1/2 cup corn oil for frying

Directions

• Mix potatoes and onion. Add in the egg, salt and pepper. Mix everything well and set the batter aside while corn oil heats up.
• Add corn oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture onto a flat spatula and flatten to form a patty. Transfer about four patties to skillet. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Adjust heat if necessary. Repeat with remaining latkes.

• Transfer cooked latkes to a paper-towel lined plate.
• Serve with sour cream and applesauce.
• Enjoy!
