Quick And Easy Potato Latke With Dill Sauce Recipes

CRISPY CLASSIC POTATO LATKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This is to keep your latkes warm and crisp before serving. (Optional)
• Using either a food processor with a shredding attachment, or a hand grater, shred the potatoes and onions. If using a food processor, you might need to cut the potatoes and onions to fit properly.
• Using a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or clean kitchen towel, add the shredded potatoes and onions. Squeeze as much of the liquid out as possible.
• Transfer the potatoes and onion to a large bowl. Add in the whisked eggs, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything well and set the batter aside while the oil heats up.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. You will have to adjust the heat between medium/medium-high as you work to keep the oil at the right temperature. Line a large plate with paper towels to drain each batch.
• Drop scoops of 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet, cook for 1 minute, then press down gently with a spatula to flatten. It's important not to crowd the skillet to keep the oil hot. I fried mine in batches of 6 or 7 at a time.
• Fry until golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes). Carefully flip with a spatula. Continue to cook until the second side is golden brown and crisp (another 2-3 minutes longer). When they're done, transfer the latkes to the paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly, then to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven to keep warm while you fry additional batches.
• Repeat with the remaining mixture until used up. This rcipe should make between 22-26 depending on how large the patties are. Serve right away (or continue to keep warm in the oven) with dill, scallions or chives and sour cream.

QUICK AND EASY POTATO LATKE WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Place potatoes, egg whites and onion in food processor. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. Add to food processor and pulse using the metal blade, until potatoes and onions are chopped fine.
• 2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with canola oil cooking spray. Add the canola oil and heat.
• 3. Spoon teaspoons of the potato mixture into the hot pan. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towel or a large brown paper bag. Keep warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven.
• 4. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
• 5. SAUCE: Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. To serve spoon sauce into a bowl. Surround with warm latkes and garnish with sprig of fresh dill; serve immediately.
• 6. My grandmother also had fresh applesauce for us children. Most of us weren't crazy about sour cream based sauces back in the 50's and 60's. She would make these potato pancakes for a Sunday night supper as we had a huge meal at lunch on Sunday.
• 7. For larger latkes, spoon a scant 1/4 cup of potato mixture into hot oil, flattening with the back of the spoon. Proceed as above.
• 8. Latkes may be placed on baking sheets and flash-frozen, and stored in zip top bags. To serve, reheat in a preheated 425-degree oven for 3-5 minutes.

MASHED POTATO LATKES WITH DILL AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, pierce potatoes with a fork and place directly on rack. Bake for 1 hour or until a knife easily pierces potatoes. Meanwhile, sauté shallots in 1 tablespoon or so of coconut oil until tender. Add dill and parsley and set aside.
• Peel potatoes, cut in several pieces and put in a medium bowl; use a potato masher or ricer to break them up. Mix in egg, shallots and herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Taking about 1/2 cup of filling at a time, form 10 patties about 1/4-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Pour bread crumbs into a wide bowl or plate, and coat the latkes in the crumbs on both sides.
• Heat a nonstick frying pan and add a thin film of oil, about 1/8-inch deep. When hot, slide in pancakes and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes on one side, pressing down to gently flatten. Flip latkes and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until crisp and deeply golden. You can make them in advance, placing parchment paper between each layer of patties and reheating in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
