Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel and grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible over a sink.

Step 3

Grate the onion and add it to the potatoes. Use the kitchen towel again to squeeze out excess moisture from the potato and onion mixture.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the grated potato and onion mixture, flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture and stir to distribute evenly.

Step 6

Using a spoon or your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten it into a round, thin latke shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the latkes with the remaining olive oil to ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, then flip the latkes using a spatula. Bake for another 10-12 minutes on the other side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the latkes from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your preferred topping. Enjoy!
