Garlic And Rosemary Latkes

Ingredients

• 1 pound Russet potatoes, peeled
• 5 scallions, chopped
• 5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
• 10 fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• Shred potatoes using either a food processor or a hand grater. Place the potato shreds in cheese cloth, and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place these potato shreds in a mixing bowl.
• Add these ingredients to the same mixing bowl: scallions, garlic, rosemary, egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well. Roughly divide the mixture in half, and then divide each half into thirds so you end up with 6 piles. This will give you an idea of how much mixture to form for each of the 6 latkes.
• Heat olive oil in a large shallow pan over medium heat. Scoop up a pile of potato mixture and roughly form in the shape of a patty and place it on the pan. Each latke will hold its shape once heated. Repeat for all six latkes.
• Cook each side of the latke until crisp and browned to your liking, at least 5 minutes per side. You can press down on each latke with a spatula to give it a nice sear. Serve immediately.
