4 russet or purple potatoes
1/2 red onion
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

1. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, stirring in the salt and pepper. Peel and grate the potatoes, squeezing out any excess liquid. Peel and finely chop the onion.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the potatoes and onion with the lightly beaten egg and the flour.
3. In a heavy-bottomed large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture. Use a spatula to gently press the mixture down into the shape of a small patty. Brown briefly, then turn and brown the other side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Stir 1 tablespoon of the chives into the sour cream, and the remaining tablespoon into the yogurt. Serve the yogurt and sour cream with the potato latkes.
