Description

Ingredients

• 30 oz hash browns, defrosted. Make sure yours contain ONLY potatoes, with no added sugars, flavorings, or preservatives (I used Mr. Dells).
• One small yellow onion
• Three chipotles in adobo
• One egg, beaten
• 2 Tbsp adobo sauce
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
• Canola oil, for frying

Directions

• Defrost hash browns completely, squeeze out any excess water, and add to large mixing bowl.
• Dice chipotles and onion in food chopper (because as long as were cheating, dont chop a darn thing by hand!) and stir into potatoes.
• Add egg, adobo sauce, chili powder, garlic salt, flour, and cheese and mix well.
• Add about ¼ of oil to the bottom of a large frying pan and heat over medium-high heat for several minutes.
• Form potato mixture into small balls, add to pan, and press down slightly to flatten.
• Cook your latkes in small batches for three minutes per side, then remove to paper towel lined plate.
• Note: Smaller latkes will hold together better, and be sure to leave generous spacing between them in your pan when frying.
• Serve with sour cream on the side.
• Makes about 20 small latkes.
