Hanukkah Starts This Week. Get Your Latke Game Up Too Par w/ These Potato Latkes (Just Like Grandma Makes)

Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes
2 shallots, minced (4 tablespoons)
2 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 TBS all-purpose flour
1 tsp dried tarragon
2 tsp fresh chives, snipped
1 tsp dried mustard
2 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup vegetable oil
Fresh chives, for garnish
Sour Cream for garnish
Apple Sauce for garnish
Sugar for garnish

 Directions:
Wash the potatoes and grate them by hand using the coarse side of a grater.
Put the grated potato into a clean dish-towel and wring well to remove the excess water. Place grated potato in a large bowl.
Add the shallots, garlic, eggs, flour, tarragon, chives, mustard, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Pour 1/4 cup of the oil into an 8-inch skillet and place over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Carefully place a heaping tablespoon of the latke mix into the hot oil and flatten a little. Add 3 more to the pan and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip and repeat on the other side.
Remove to a paper towel lined plate and repeat until all the latke mix has been used; you'll have to replenish the cooking oil about halfway through.
Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Sprinkle latkes with chives and serve with Apple Sauce, Sugar or Sour Cream on the side.
