Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spray the parchment lightly with olive oil spray.
Peel the potatoes and use a box grater or food processor to shred them. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Grate the onion using the same method and press out its excess moisture using a separate towel or by squeezing it with your hands.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and gently form into a small patty. Place each patty onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between each latke.
Lightly spray the tops of the latkes with olive oil spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, carefully flip each latke and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove the latkes from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite toppings.
