Baked Latkes 2 Recipes

BAKED POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Pour potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, ground peppercorns, flour, and eggs into a bowl, respectively. Fold mixture together with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well coated with egg and garlic, salt, and pepper are evenly mixed throughout. Break up any large potato chunks.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Form latke dough into baseball-size balls and flatten into 1-inch thick rounds.
• Working in batches, place latkes in hot oil and cook until edges are a rich brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip latkes using a slotted spoon and cook until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

BAKED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper marked as safe for high heat baking or with nonstick foil. Spray the parchment paper or foil with oil.
• Grate the potatoes using your food processor's grating attachment. Wipe the food processor clean with a paper towel, and use the food processor's standard blade to chop the onion.
• Place the shredded potatoes and the chopped onion in a colander over a bowl and press firmly with your hands, repeatedly, to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Empty the bowl from the liquid, wipe with a paper towel, and transfer the potato/onion mixture to the bowl.
• In another small bowl, beat the egg with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Add the egg mixture to the potato mixture and stir, then add the flour and stir to combine.
• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the prepared baking sheet, forming 12 very thin pancakes- press with your hands to flatten the patties as much as you can, while keeping their shape.
• Generously spray the latkes with oil.
• Bake the latkes for 15 minutes, until crisp and deep golden brown on the bottom. Remove pan from oven, flip the latkes to the other side, spray again with oil, and bake 10-15 more minutes, until crisp and deep golden brown on the second side.
• Serve immediately, with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.

OVEN-FRIED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mist a baking sheet with the cooking spray.
• Peel the potatoes and then grate on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a fine-mesh sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl. Let the liquid settle for about 10 minutes, and then pour off the watery liquid, reserving the potato starch.
• Beat the egg white in a large bowl until it holds a soft peak. Gently fold in the potatoes, scallions, reserved potato starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Drop the mixture by tablespoons on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the latkes about 2 inches apart. Gently spread and flatten into 2 1/2-inch rounds. Roast until the bottoms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and roast until the potatoes are cooked through and the bottoms are spotted brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Serve with the applesauce and sour cream.
