The quantity looked like a typo. If half a cup of butter will do, why an ocean of schmaltz.

Yep, the schmaltz is too high. Schmaltz will be roughly the same quantity as any other fat used in cooking. Lattkes are not deep fried, are pan fried in 1/4 inch of oil. Some onion must be grated, not just potato. My mother made me do the grating when she made them.


Are best served with sour cream but others like apple sauce on the side which cuts the grease.
