Directions
Place Brussels sprouts in food processor and chop roughly. Transfer to large bowl. Chop the potatoes and onion in the processor until well diced, then transfer them to a kitchen towel. Wring out as much moisture as possible.
Slightly beat the eggs, then add to the sprouts with the potatoes and onion, potato starch, and salt and pepper. Combine well.
Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, scoop the mixture with a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop into the oil and flatten with the back of a spatula. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until edges are starting to brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Remove from the pan onto a baking sheet lined with newspaper and then paper towels. Keep in a barely warm oven while frying remaining batches; it should take about four batches to fry them all.
Flavor Notes: Spices and herbs can be added with the potato starch. A couple teaspoons of ground cumin changes the whole character of the latkes. Marjoram, paprika, or finely chopped garlic also work nicely.
