Number Of Ingredients 7

1-1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons flour (or more) or matzo meal (during Passover)
2 tablespoons chopped herbs such as cilantro,
1 1/2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Rasoted red peppers and salsa for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor grate the potatoes. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and transfer potatoes to the sieve. Set sieve over a bowl, twist cheesecloth into a pouch, squeezing out some moisture. Let mixture drain for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour off liquid from the bowl but leave the white potato starch that settles in the bottom of the bowl.
  • To that starch add eggs, flour,herbs, 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt and freshly ground pepper. Return drained potatoes to this mixture and toss to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking pan with paper towels. When you are ready to eat, in a large skillet heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium high heat until hot. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side; latkes should be golden and crisp on both sides. Eat right away or keep warm in oven.
  • Serve topped with slivers of roasted red peppers,and salsa.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potato latkes turned out flat and greasy.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potato latkes turned out flat and greasy. Maybe I didn't use enough flour?

I had some trouble getting the latkes to stay together in the pan. I think I might have needed to use more flour.

I've made potato latkes many times before, but this recipe is definitely my new favorite. The combination of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes gives them a unique flavor and texture.

These potato latkes were a hit at our party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the Southwestern flavors were amazing. I especially liked the addition of corn and black beans.
