Description
Potato latkes are simply thin, crispy potatoes pancakes made with grated potatoes. They are very popular during Hanukkah but are also eaten on many other occasions. Here's my secret to making the most delicious and super crispy latkes.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs (680 g) Potatoes grated (3 large)
- ½ cup Onion chopped finely
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- 2 large Egg
- ½ cup (60 g) All-purpose flour (or matzo meal - used during Passover)
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ½ cup Parsley chopped finely
- ½ cup (50 g) Grated Parmesan (optional - not used traditionally)
For frying
- ½ cup (120 ml) Vegetable oil
Yogurt dip
- ½ cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 tsp Honey
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Mustard
- ¼ tsp White pepper
Instructions
- Grate Potatoes - In a large bowl, grate the potatoes using the large side of the grater. Then, transfer the grated potatoes to a double layer of cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture from them as possible.
- Latkes mixture - To a large bowl, add the grated and squeezed potatoes, salt, pepper, finely chopped onions, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and flour. Combine well. Then, add the egg and combine well.
- Frying the latkes - Heat a 10 - or 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 4 to 6 tablespoons of oil (about 1/8 inch deep) over medium-high heat. Drop large spoonfuls of potato mixture into the oil and flatten them with a spatula. Cook on medium to high until golden brown on both sides. Flip at about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side and another 3 minutes on the second side.
- Drain - When done, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Yogurt dip - In a small bowl, combine the yogurt or sour cream with salt, pepper, mustard, and honey. Serve alongside the crispy latkes.
