CLASSIC POTATO LATKES



Classic Potato Latkes image

Learn to make crispy, flavorful Jewish potato latkes for Hanukkah with potato shreds, schmaltz or vegetable oil, onions, matzo meal. Kosher.

Provided by Tori Avey

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs potatoes ((I prefer Yukon Gold))
1 large onion, (shredded)
3/4 cup matzo meal or bread crumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tbsp potato starch, (or more if needed)
1 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
Avocado, peanut or grapeseed oil for frying ((about 1 1/2 cups - choose an oil with a high smoke point))
1/4 cup schmaltz ((optional))

Steps:

  • Before you begin making the latkes, place your wire cooling rack close to the area where you will be frying the latkes. Place a layer of paper towels below the cooling rack to catch excess oil. Cut the potatoes into large chunks and shred using a hand grater or food processor shredding attachment with large holes (large shreds). I really recommend using the food processor, it saves a ton of time and will help you avoid tears when grating the onion.
  • Place grated potato into a bowl and immediately cover with cold water.
  • Meanwhile, grate the onion using the grater or food processor attachment with fine holes (small shreds).
  • Drain the potato shreds in a colander. Rinse and dry the bowl used to soak the shreds and set aside.
  • Place drained potato shreds and grated onion in the center of a clean tea towel or multiple layers of cheesecloth.
  • Wrap the shreds up in the cloth, twisting the cloth to secure the bundle, and squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid from the shreds.
  • Pour potato and onion into the clean dry bowl. Stir the shreds with a fork to make sure the grated onion is evenly mixed throughout the potato shreds.
  • In a skillet, add oil to reach a depth of 1/8 inch. If using schmaltz, add 1/4 cup to the oil. The schmaltz will add more savory flavor to the latkes. Heat slowly over medium to about 365 degrees F. While oil is heating, use the fork to stir the matzo meal, beaten eggs, potato starch, salt and pepper into the potato and onion shreds. Add salt and pepper to taste; I add about 1 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. You can sprinkle on more salt to taste after cooking, if desired. Take care to make sure the egg and seasonings are fully mixed throughout the potato shreds.
  • Scoop up 3 tbsp of the potato mixture and shape into a tightly compacted disk.Place the disk carefully into the hot oil. Latkes can break apart at this point, they're very delicate. If you can get them into the hot oil in one piece, chances are they will stick together - frying them is like the "glue" that holds them together. It takes a gentle touch, and it may take you some practice to get the "feel" for it.The oil should sizzle, but not pop when the latke hits it; if the oil jumps wildly or smokes, it is too hot. If it only bubbles weakly, the oil is not hot enough. Use the first latke to test the oil temperature, and don't fry a whole batch until the temperature is right.
  • Continue shaping the latkes in this way, using 3 tablespoons of potato mixture for each latke. Fry in batches of 4-5 latkes at a time (no more than that - don't crowd the pan) for 2-3 minutes per side until brown and crispy.
  • Remove the latkes from the pan using a metal spatula and place them on the wire cooling rack to drain.I recommend serving latkes fresh within 10 minutes of frying them, if your cooking schedule permits. If you need to make them ahead, fry them 2 hours or less before serving. You can also freeze them if you're not serving them right away.
  • To Reheat Latkes: Place them on an ungreased, unlined cookie sheet. To reheat from room temperature, place in a 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes (7 if using a convection oven), until heated through, just prior to serving. From frozen, it can take 15-25 minutes to reheat. Sprinkle with more salt, if desired, and serve latkes with applesauce and/or sour cream (or dairy free sour cream).

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 medium potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in salted water and let sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Grate potatoes on a medium or fine setting. Press out liquid; this should produce about 4 cups grated potato.
  • Place grated potato in a bowl and stir in flour, onion, salt, and pepper. Fold in eggs.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heat enough oil in a deep pan to reach 1/4 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a drop of batter sizzles. Lower heat to medium.
  • Working in batches, drop batter into the hot oil in desired size and flatten into pancakes; brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared pans and keep warm in the preheated oven while you fry remaining batter.

  • Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place the grated potatoes into a colander with a bowl underneath.
  • Take a potato masher and squish the peeled potatoes down to remove excess moisture (my kids love this part). Add your bag of shredded hash browns to the freshly peeled potatoes.
  • Let the potato mixture drain for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, mash your peeled potato mixture one last time and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Alternative instructions: Line a sieve with cheesecloth and transfer potatoes into a sieve. Set sieve over a bowl, twist cheesecloth into a pouch and squeeze out the moisture.
  • Do not throw away the drained liquid, we need that! Pour off the top liquid, saving the white potato starch that settled in the bottom of the bowl. To that starch add dried onion flakes, beaten eggs, salt and ground pepper. Slowly stir in the flour to avoid clumps. Pour this starch mixture into the bowl of peeled potatoes and toss to combine.

  • Peel and grate potatoes, then immediately place in a mixing bowl filled with warm water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then drain potatoes and re-cover with warm water, repeating the process a total of 3 times. You'll know you're done when there are very few bubbles at the top of the bowl.
  • Working in batches and using a large cheese cloth, kitchen towel, or even an old pillow case, squeeze out all excess moisture from potatoes. Place drained potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Meanwhile, grate onions and ring out any excess water. Add onion to potatoes, along with most of the eggs (I'll begin by using ¾ of them, reserving the rest) , matzah meal, kosher salt, baking powder, and black pepper, then mix well. If mixture seems too dry, add more egg a little at a time.
  • Heat enough oil to fill a pan about ½”. When oil reaches 400F, drop about 1-2 Tbsp of latke batter into pan, making sure not to crowd the pan. Use the back of a spoon to pat them down a bit (you want them thin!). Fry about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, then carefully turn and brown the other side for about 1-2 minutes.
