Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Cooking Tips:
- Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help ensure that your latkes are crispy and not soggy.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the latkes from sticking.
- Keep the latkes warm in a low oven (200°F) while you cook the remaining batches.
Cooking Process:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated potatoes, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped scallions, beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten it with a spatula.
4. Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the latkes warm with sour cream or applesauce, if desired.
