Categories     Appetizers

Yield 25 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into large pieces
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup cinnamon applesauce, for serving
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a food processor fitted with a grater blade or the large holes of a box grater, grate the onion. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Grate the potatoes in the food processor or on a box grater.
  • Line a large bowl with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze the excess liquid from the potatoes into the bowl. Drain the liquid, then add the potatoes to the bowl, along with the grated onion, and toss to combine.
  • Add the flour, salt, and eggs and stir to combine.
  • Heat 2 inches (5 cm) of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Dollop about ¼ cup (30 G) of the latke mixture at a time into the hot oil and spread to make pancakes, about 3 inches in diameter. Do not overcrowd the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and fry until the latkes are browned on the bottom and the edges are crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes more, until browned and crispy. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the latkes with cinnamon applesauce and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

Laura's Potato Latkes Recipe by Tasty image

Matt's mom, Laura, shows him how to make their family's most cherished recipe: latkes. She teaches him that just 4 simple ingredients can transform into a lacy, crispy and delicious side dish.

Time 50m

Yield 1 Serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large russet potatoes
½ medium yellow onion
2 large eggs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon matzo ball mix, or more as needed
1 cup vegetable oil, plus more as needed
applesauce, for serving
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, adding them to a large bowl filled with water as you work to prevent browning.
  • Dry the potatoes, then shred on the large holes of a box grater into a large. Shred the onion into the same bowl on the small holes of the box grater.
  • Transfer the potato mixture to a nut milk bag or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze tightly over the bowl to wring out any excess liquid. Set the liquid aside to let the starch settle to the bottom of the bowl, then carefully pour off the liquid on top, leaving the potato starch in the bottom of the bowl.
  • In a clean large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes and onions, potato starch, 1 egg, salt, and pepper and gently mix to combine. If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, add another egg. Add 1 tablespoon matzo ball mix and stir to incorporate, adding up to 1 tablespoon more matzo ball mix if the mixture isn't holding together.
  • Pour the oil into a large pan to reach a depth of ¼ inch. Heat over medium heat. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, add the potato mixture to the pan, gently pressing down to the desired thickness. Add another scoop or two of the potato mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to crisp and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the latkes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining latkes.
  • Serve with applesauce and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

TASTY POTATO LATKES

These potato pancakes are both flavorful and crispy. It is so much easier if you have a food processor with a shredder on it. Either way, worth making!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
2 tablespoons dry onion soup mix
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
cracked black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped green onion for garnish
1 tablespoon sour cream for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the shredded potatoes in a cloth, and wring as much of the moisture out as possible. Place the potatoes into a bowl, and stir in the onion soup mix, garlic, eggs, flour, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and drop the potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil. Press down on the patties to flatten them to about 1/3 inch thick. Fry the patties until golden brown and crisp on the bottoms, 5 to 8 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until crisp and golden. Remove the latkes to paper towels to drain, and serve hot, sprinkled with green onion and a small dollop of sour cream.
