Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat them with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and onion. Grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment.
Step 3
Transfer the grated potatoes and onion to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then place the mixture in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the eggs, flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the potato mixture. Mix until well combined and the batter holds together.
Step 5
Use a tablespoon to scoop out small mounds of the mixture. Flatten each mound slightly into a round pattie about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Arrange the latkes on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small space between each one. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Carefully flip the latkes over and bake for an additional 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with applesauce, sour cream, or your favorite toppings!
