Tasty Potato Latkes

Place the shredded potatoes in a cloth and wring as much of the moisture out as possible. Place the potatoes into a bowl and stir in the onion soup mix garlic eggs flour Cheddar cheese salt and pepper until well mixed.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers and drop the potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil. Press down on the patties to flatten them to about 1/3 inch thick. Fry the patties until golden brown and crisp on the bottoms 5 to 8 minutes then flip and cook the other side until crisp and golden. Remove the latkes to paper towels to drain and serve hot sprinkled with green onion and a small dollop of sour cream.
