Norma's Magic Mushroom Latkes

Directions:

For the mushroom latkes:

Slice the oyster mushrooms into very fine strips, coat with Wondra flour and fry.

Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and squeeze the liquid out of the mixture. Do the same for the grated onions. Combine all the ingredients (including the fried mushrooms) and mix together well by hand.

In a heavy skillet, put a 3/4" deep layer of olive oil and duck fat (just add more oil if you don’t use the duck fat) and heat until sizzling.

Form individual pancakes by hand and carefully slide into the pan using a slotted spatula. Fill the pan, but leave room between the pancakes.

When the latkes are nicely browned on one side, turn carefully and cook until browned on the other side and crisp on the edges.

Remove with a spatula and place on paper towels.
