Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium Idaho white potatoes (shredded and drained very well)
1/4 cup onion (shredded)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon parsley (chopped)
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
sour cream for serving
extra parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine potatoes, onion, garlic, parsley and eggs in a large bowl.
  • Add in all purpose flour and breadcrumbs. Mix to combine. Try not to over mix. We want our pancakes to be light and fluffy.
  • Add in salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Fold to combine.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the parchment paper. Do not wash your hands.
  • With your oiled hands portion out 8 potato pancakes. The thinner the better we want them to be crispy. Not to thin were they fall apart.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. The pancakes should be a nice golden brown color.
  • Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on each and fresh parsley for garnish.

Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must have at Hanukkah, but really are wonderful any time of year! This is my mother's recipe, which is honestly the best latke I've had. I usually end up having to make a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I've tried other recipes and always return to these. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.

POTATO LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)



Potato Latkes (Potato Pancakes) image

Latkas are a tradition for Channukah, but they are great anytime. This recipe makes about 15 latkas, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Easy to make, just allow time to stand at the stove with multiple frying pans. I use every burner that is open to speed it up. Traditionally served with applesauce on the side. Some people also top the pancakes with a little sour cream.

Categories     Egg     Onion     Potato     Appetizer     Side     Fry     Hanukkah     Quick & Easy     Kosher     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes about 24 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium onion, peeled
4 large russet or Idaho potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Applesauce and/or sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven.
  • Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
  • In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs, then whisk in flour.
  • Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
  • In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 3-inch pancakes.
  • Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
  • Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter before each batch.
  • Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream.

Tips:

  • For crispy latkes, use a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes. Russet potatoes provide structure, while Yukon Gold potatoes add flavor and moisture.
  • Shred the potatoes finely and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes. This will help prevent the latkes from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will help prevent the latkes from burning.
  • Cook the latkes in batches, and do not overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings, such as applesauce, sour cream, or smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

These baked potato pancakes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried latkes. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion breakfast. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these latkes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
