I love potato pancakes, but this recipe far exceeds any I've ever tried. I recently saw Tyler Florence make these on Food 911, and I couldn't wait to make them. I hope you enjoy them as my hubby & I do!

Categories     Potato

Time 34m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
2 medium onions
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
vegetable oil (for frying)
applesauce or sour cream

Steps:

  • Using a box grater, coarsely grate the potatoes lengthwise, and grate onions.
  • Put the grated potatoes and onions together in cheesecloth or a towel and twist it to squeeze out all the excess liquid.
  • Put the dry potatoes and onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to personal preference.
  • Fold in the egg whites and chives to bind the mixture together.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat with 1/4 inch of oil.
  • For each pancake, take about 2Tblsp of the potatoe mixture and drop into the hot oil; gently flatten with a spatula so they fry up thin and crispy.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden.
  • Remove to paper towels to drain, season with salt while the potato pancakes are still hot.
  • Continue frying rest of mixture, adding more oil as needed, until all of the mixture is used up.
  • Serve immediately with desired condiment (applesauce or sour cream), if desired.
  • This recipe yields (about) 20 pancakes (4")each in size.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but the latkes didn't turn out as crispy as I hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These latkes were a bit too oily for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I would try using less oil next time.

I've tried making potato latkes many times before, but they always turned out soggy. These were the first ones that actually came out crispy! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

These Crispy Potato Latkes were the perfect side dish for our roast chicken dinner. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. We'll definitely be making these again.
