Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and onion, then grate them using a box grater or food processor with a shredder attachment. Place the grated potato and onion in a clean kitchen towel, wrap it tightly, and wring out as much moisture as possible over the sink.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potato and onion with the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form into small patties about 2-3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each.
Step 5
Lightly brush the tops of the latkes with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each latke using a spatula. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the latkes are golden-brown and crisp on both sides.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and place the latkes on a cooling rack or a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with applesauce, sour cream, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
