How to Make Kittencal's Crispy Potato And Green Onion Pancakes Latkes

Grate 2 lbs potatoes using the coarse side of a grater or a food processor.
Place grated potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water.
Allow potatoes to soak for at least 8 hours, or up to 2 days in the refrigerator for extra crispy latkes.
Firmly squeeze handfuls of grated potatoes to remove excess liquid. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp seasoned salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
Mix well with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional).
Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Place heaping tablespoons of potato mixture into the hot skillet, flattening slightly with a fork. Don't overcrowd the pan.
Sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side), adding more oil as needed.
Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
Serve immediately with sour cream. Enjoy!
