POTATO LATKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F. Coat a 12-cup muffin pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. Peel potatoes, grate them through the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Then squeeze grated potatoes in small batches between your hands over the sink to remove excess water. (See section below for extra crispy potato latkes) Grate onion into the same bowl through the same holes. Stir in garlic, basil, egg and egg white, cheese, oil, salt and pepper to taste. Place ⅓ cup of the potato mixture into each muffin cup, firmly packing the mixture. Bake the potato latkes in the oven until lightly crispy, browned and firm, about 50 minutes. Cool them in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. How to serve latkes Serve potato latkes warm, with sour cream, applesauce or Cranberry Apple-Pear Sauce. Best potatoes for latkes The best potatoes for latkes are russet potatoes. We like to scrub them clean and leave them unpeeled before shredding on a box shredder. This incorporates bits of potato skin throughout the latke providing a significant boost to the potato flavor. Extra crispy potato latkes To achieve latkes that are light but not greasy with creamy interiors and a crispy potato outer shell, remove as much water as possible from the shredded potatoes before cooking. Wring the shredded potatoes in a kitchen towel which will remove excess moisture. Then microwave the shredded potatoes for 30 seconds on high, fluff with a fork and repeat until the potatoes are just warmed through but not hot. This process will release more moisture from inside the potato shreds and cause the starch in the potatoes to form a gel.

LAURA'S POTATO LATKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, adding them to a large bowl filled with water as you work to prevent browning.
• Dry the potatoes, then shred on the large holes of a box grater into a large. Shred the onion into the same bowl on the small holes of the box grater.
• Transfer the potato mixture to a nut milk bag or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze tightly over the bowl to wring out any excess liquid. Set the liquid aside to let the starch settle to the bottom of the bowl, then carefully pour off the liquid on top, leaving the potato starch in the bottom of the bowl.
• In a clean large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes and onions, potato starch, 1 egg, salt, and pepper and gently mix to combine. If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, add another egg. Add 1 tablespoon matzo ball mix and stir to incorporate, adding up to 1 tablespoon more matzo ball mix if the mixture isn't holding together.
• Pour the oil into a large pan to reach a depth of ¼ inch. Heat over medium heat. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, add the potato mixture to the pan, gently pressing down to the desired thickness. Add another scoop or two of the potato mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to crisp and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the latkes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on the other side. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining latkes.
• Serve with applesauce and sour cream.
• Enjoy!
