potatoes
onions
garlic

potatoes
onions
garlic
basil
eggs
egg whites
Parmesan cheese
olive oil
salt
black pepper

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.

Serve these potato latkes with apple sauce, or smoked salmon with a dollop of soured cream. Traditionally made for Hanukkah, they're great all year round

Provided by Fracine Kowalsky

Categories     Breakfast, Lunch

Time 35m

Yield Makes 12 large or 24 small

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 Maris Piper potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion
2 large eggs
2 tbsp plain flour or matzoh meal
vegetable, peanut or canola oil, for frying
soured cream
smoked salmon
finely chopped chives
apple sauce

Steps:

  • Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
  • Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
  • Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.

LAURA'S POTATO LATKES RECIPE BY TASTY



Laura's Potato Latkes Recipe by Tasty image

Matt's mom, Laura, shows him how to make their family's most cherished recipe: latkes. She teaches him that just 4 simple ingredients can transform into a lacy, crispy and delicious side dish. Her secret is incorporating the leftover potato starch that remains in the bottom of the bowl after grating the potatoes.

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Sides

Time 50m

Yield 1 Serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large russet potatoes
½ medium yellow onion
2 large eggs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon matzo ball mix, or more as needed
1 cup vegetable oil, plus more as needed
applesauce, for serving
sour cream, for serving

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!

CLASSIC POTATO LATKES



Classic Potato Latkes image

This recipe is for a classic, unadorned latke; the kind your Bubbe used to make. No kohlrabi or cumin here. Serve them hot and make more than you think you need. They go fast.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch

Time 45m

Yield About 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 pound), scrubbed and cut lengthwise into quarters
1 large onion (8 ounces), peeled and cut into quarters
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon fine sea salt), plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Safflower or other oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Using a food processor with a coarse grating disc, grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer the mixture to a clean dishtowel and squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as possible.
  • Working quickly, transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, flour, salt, baking powder and pepper, and mix until the flour is absorbed.
  • In a medium heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, pour in about 1/4 inch of the oil. Once the oil is hot (a drop of batter placed in the pan should sizzle), use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter into the hot pan, cooking in batches. Use a spatula to flatten and shape the drops into discs. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, about another 5 minutes. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips:

  • For crispy latkes, use grated potatoes that are not too wet. If your potatoes are too wet, squeeze out some of the moisture before grating them.
  • Be sure to heat your oil over medium-high heat before adding the potato mixture. This will help the latkes to brown evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the latkes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the latkes hot, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Potato latke muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for holiday gatherings or any special occasion. With their crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
