One of my favorite ways to consume a potato.

The recipe that I used is adapted from Once Upon A Chef

Ingredients:

Per ~8 latke:

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

  • Once preheated, add the oil to a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven for ~10 minutes to heat.

  • Meanwhile, grate your potatoes and onion.

  • Mix the potatoes with the onions and transfer to a sieve. Press down with paper towels to release excess water - I went through a ton of paper towels in this step, and might use a kitchen towel next time to reduce waste.

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs, salt, baking powder, and flour.

  • Transfer the potato/onion mix to the egg mixture and combine.

  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Scoop ~1/4 cup of latke batter and place in the oil, leaving some distance in between. Using the back of a measuring cup, press down to flatten slightly.

  • Bake for ~20 minutes, and then flip the latkes. Bake for another ~10 minutes, and then remove from the oven. Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.

  • Latkes are commonly served with apple sauce or sour cream. Personally, I like them with tzatziki (recipe link available here). Enjoy!
