Calories 386kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet Potatoes about 2 pounds
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250℉ if you will want to keep cooked latkes warm until serving.
- Peel and then grate the potatoes in your food processor. Transfer potatoes to a cheesecloth and twist cheesecloth into a pouch. Squeeze out the moisture. Set in a large bowl to allow starch to sink to the bottom. After about 10 minutes, carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving milky residue.4 large Russet Potatoes
- Mix eggs, potato starch, salt, and pepper into the milky residue. Add drained potatoes and onion and toss until evenly coated.1/4 cup potato starch, 2 eggs, 1 onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Heat oil over medium-high heat. Be careful not to let the oil smoke.1/2 cup avocado oil
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into the pan and flatten them with the back of a spoon. Cook the latkes over moderately high heat until the edges are golden, about 2 minutes; carefully flip and cook about 2 more minutes. (Hint: use two slotted spatulas or a slotted spatula and a fork, to flip so that the oil doesn't splatter).Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture. You can keep your latkes warm on a baking pan in the warm oven until you're ready to serve.Serve your latkes topped with velvety brown gravy, savory sour cream or sweet apple sauce.
Notes
- Is there a substitute for potato starch in this recipe? Yes. You can use gluten free all purpose flour instead of potato starch. Flours like rice flour or coconut flour will not work as well.
- Can I make potato latkes in an air fryer? Absolutely! Preheat the air fryer, arrange the latkes in a single layer, and cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Can I add extra ingredients for flavor? Certainly! Experiment with garlic or herbs to add extra layers of flavor to your potato latkes.
- How can I store leftovers? Place your leftover potato pancakes in a sealed container (with paper towels to soak up extra oil) and store them in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Can I freeze potato latkes? Yes, you can freeze them after frying. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
