Directions

Prep Time: 60 minutes Cook Time: 60 minutes

Prep

  • Prepare your setup. Line a baking pan with paper towels to receive piping-hot latkes for draining.

  • Grate the potatoes and onions. Use the large julienne or shredding blade on your food processor to grate the potatoes and onions in seconds.

  • Squeeze the potatoes and onion. The potato and onion mixture needs to be dry to get crispy latkes. A tea towel absorbs the liquid and starch, while cheesecloth lets it pass right through. 

  • Mince the garlic.

  • Mix all ingredients except oil. Use your hands

  • Place about 1/4” oil in a large pan or griddle and heat it over medium-high heat.

Cook

  • Form the latkes with a slotted spoon and hands, and squeeze out any excess liquid.

  • Carefully place the formed latke in hot oil.

  • Fry the latkes. Fry until each side is golden brown.

  • Drain and serve. Remove hot, crisp latkes from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve or keep warm in the oven.

Notes:

  1. To reheat, add to a dry pan, oven, or air fryer. No need to add more oil. It absorbs enough during cooking to reheat!

  2. Homemade Russian Dressing- equal parts ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish; mixed.

  3. Homemade applesauce recipe on the website. Add berries for the applesauce shown in this video (amazing!)
