Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.3333 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or tzatziki (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to achieve crispy latkes.
Grate the onion and add it to the squeezed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs, flour, crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet and flatten into a 3-inch pancake using the back of a spoon. Repeat until the skillet is full, leaving space between each latke.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the Mediterranean latkes warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki on top, if desired.
