Foolproof Potato Latkes image

This is my mother's latke recipe which has been a smashing hit at dozens of Chanukah parties. The secret is in the potatoes, which are crushed rather than grated, resulting in a light, crispy latke.

Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 teaspoon baking powder
ΒΌ cup canola oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place 1/4 of the potatoes, onion, eggs, salt, flour, and baking powder in the work bowl of a food processor; pulse several times until the vegetables are finely chopped. Add the rest of the potatoes, and pulse again until all the potatoes are finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop up about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture per latke, and place into the hot oil. Fry the patty until brown and crisp on the bottom, flip it, and cook the other side until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the potato mixture, replenishing the oil as needed. Serve hot.

I've tried many potato latke recipes, but this one is by far the best. The latkes were perfectly cooked and had a great flavor.

These potato latkes were absolutely delicious! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again!
