Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 small white onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (, for cooking)
  • fresh chives (, chopped)

Instruction

  • Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven and preheat to 300° F.
  • Using the medium grater attachment for your food processor, grate the potatoes and onion. Transfer to a large mixing bowl of ice cold water to keep potatoes from browning and remove some of the starch. Soak the grated potatoes for 15 minutes.*
  • When you are just about ready to fry, drain the potatoes and onions. Either blot them dry with a paper towels or wring them out in a tea towel to dry them as best as possible.
  • Transfer the dried potato mixture to a medium mixing bowl and toss with the flour, egg, garlic powder and salt.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with about 1/8 inch of olive oil. When oil is shimmering, scoop 1/4 cup of the latke mixture into the pan, flatten with a spatula, and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy, flip and fry 3-4 minutes on the other side. If they are frying faster, reduce the heat.
  • Place the latkes on the baking sheet in the oven to keep them warm while you finish frying the remaining latkes.
  • Garnish with fresh chives and serve with sour cream and applesauce.
