Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- Oil for frying
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C)
- Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks that will fit through your food processor tube, and place in cold water until ready to use.
- Prepare your food processor with the S blade.
- Cut the onion into quarters and place in the bowl of the food processor. Add about a third of your cut potatoes. Run the food processor until the onion and potatoes are pureed.
- Remove the S blade and replace with the shredding/grating blade. Shred/grate the remaining potatoes.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Add the eggs and salt and mix well.
- Place a heavy baking sheet into the oven for 10 minutes. Carefully remove pan, add ¼ cup oil and tip the pan so that the oil coats most of it. Quickly, while the pan is still hot, drop spoonfuls of latke batter onto it (I used a ¼ cup measuring cup for mine). Press down so that they are quite flat.
- Return tray to the oven and bake 10-12 minutes.
- Take tray out of oven, flip the latkes over, add a little more oil if needed, and bake for another 10-12 minutes, until latkes are golden and crispy on both sides.
Yields: 15-18 latkes
