Time 1h10m

Yield 12 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Black pepper
Chopped scallions, for topping
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
2 medium yellow onions
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 large eggs
Black pepper
4 scallions, chopped
Flavorless oil, for frying
Flaky or kosher salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onion sour cream: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Mix together the onion mixture, sour cream, onion powder, a few turns of black pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the potato latkes: Meanwhile, using the shredding attachment on a food processor (or mandoline), shred the potatoes, onions and garlic. Line a colander with 2 layers of cheesecloth and set it over a bowl or in the sink. Add the shredded mixture to the cheesecloth and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Let sit for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Gather up the edges of the cheesecloth and use your hands to squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, eggs, a few turns of black pepper and the potato mixture. Stir in the scallions.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering; it's ready when a strand of potato added to the oil immediately starts to sizzle. Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop to add compact scoops of the mixture to the oil, spacing them out so as not to crowd the pan. Press the scoops down lightly with a spatula to get 1/2-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown on both sides, a few minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels and sprinkle with flaky or kosher salt. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
  • Sprinkle the caramelized onion sour cream with chopped scallions and serve with the warm latkes.

These latkes were a bit bland. I think I will add some more salt and pepper next time.

I made these latkes for Hanukkah and they were a huge success! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the caramelized onions were the perfect addition. I will definitely be making these again next year.

These latkes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I will try using less oil next time.
