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.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I might have used too much oil.

I used a food processor to shred the potatoes and onions. It made the process much easier.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The latkes were still delicious.

The avocado crema is the perfect topping for these latkes. It's creamy and flavorful, and it really brings the whole dish together.

I had some trouble getting the latkes to stay together. I think I might have needed to use more potato starch.
