Old Bay Potato Latkes

Langkah-langkah

1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded potatoes with the onion, bell pepper, egg and garlic. In a small bowl, combine the flour, Old Bay, celery seed, paprika, mustard and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning into the potato mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a fine mesh strainer and set over a bowl to drain out some of the moisture.
2. Generously coat the bottom of a 12 inch skillet with oil (3 tablespoons or more). Set over medium high heat. When the oil is shimmering, use a ¼ cup measure to portion out the mixture into the pan, making sure the latkes don't touch each other. You should be able to cook three at a time. Flatten slightly with the back of the measuring cup or a spatula.
3. Fry the latkes until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding fresh oil to the pan between batches as needed.
4. Transfer the latkes to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with sour cream and/or applesauce. Sprinkle chives on top, if desired.
