Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Russet potato, peeled and grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well and finely chop the florets.

Step 2

Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potato.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, grated potato, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a small, flat patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil. Repeat, adding a few more patties to the skillet without overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden-brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.

Step 8

Serve the broccoli cheddar latkes warm, optionally with sour cream or a dollop of yogurt on the side.
