SUPER SIMPLE LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)

We love potato pancakes in our house, but until I came up with the idea to use pre-shredded frozen potatoes, they were a once a year thing at Hanukkah. Peeling, shredding and draining the potatoes were a real pain. Now that the hard work is done, we can eat them all year long!!! At Passover I will make them with Matzoh Meal instead of flour.

Steps:

  • Defrost grated potatoes in a medium-size colander. Press with paper towels to remove excess moisture. There won't be much.
  • Add onion, eggs, salt, pepper and flour. Mixture should be thick and cohesive.
  • Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into a heavy-bottomed frying pan. I use an electric frying pan at 375 so it doesn't get too hot and burn the latkes.
  • Use about 2 Tablespoons potato mixture and place in the oil and press into a patty.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes. Flip and fry for another 3 or so minutes. If pancake cooks too fast, reduce oil's temperature. If it takes longer, turn the oil up so they don't get soggy. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve immediately, or keep in a 250 oven on a baking sheet.

Steps:

  • In a food processor grate the potatoes. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and transfer potatoes to the sieve. Set sieve over a bowl, twist cheesecloth into a pouch, squeezing out some moisture. Let mixture drain for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour off liquid from the bowl but leave the white potato starch that settles in the bottom of the bowl.
  • To that starch add shallots, eggs, flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt and freshly ground pepper. Return drained potatoes to this mixture and toss to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking pan with paper towels. When you are ready to eat, in a large skillet heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium high heat until hot. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of potato mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side; latkes should be golden and crisp on both sides. Eat right away or keep warm in oven. Serve with applesauce or sour cream or cottage cheese mixed with sour cream.

1-1/2 pounds russet potatoes peeled
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons flour (or more) or matzo meal (during Passover)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying

  • Melt the clarified butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of the potato mixture into the sizzling butter and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and golden brown. Serve the pancakes hot from the skillet.

Steps:

  • Wash and peel the potatoes.
  • Grate the potatoes with a grater or food processor.
  • (You can grate them into a bowl of salted water to keep them from discoloring. Otherwise they discolor about as fast as you can grate them, although it doesn't hurt anything if you use them right away). Drain off all liquid, and squeeze the excess liquid out by hand.
  • (Do this even if you don't soak them in the salted water.) Beat the eggs and mix with the grated potatoes and other ingredients, except the oil.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium high heat until very hot.
  • Drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoons into oil (about 4 at a time).
  • Use a pancake turner to flatten them out.
  • Fry to golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side).
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve topped with applesauce or sour cream.

FOOLPROOF POTATO LATKES

This is my mother's latke recipe which has been a smashing hit at dozens of Chanukah parties. The secret is in the potatoes, which are crushed rather than grated, resulting in a light, crispy latke.

Steps:

  • Place 1/4 of the potatoes, onion, eggs, salt, flour, and baking powder in the work bowl of a food processor; pulse several times until the vegetables are finely chopped. Add the rest of the potatoes, and pulse again until all the potatoes are finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop up about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture per latke, and place into the hot oil. Fry the patty until brown and crisp on the bottom, flip it, and cook the other side until brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the rest of the potato mixture, replenishing the oil as needed. Serve hot.

MOM'S POTATO LATKES

Latkes (potato pancakes) are a must have at Hanukkah, but really are wonderful any time of year! This is my mother's recipe, which is honestly the best latke I've had. I usually end up having to make a second batch because they disappear so quickly. I've tried other recipes and always return to these. Lovely topped with sour cream or applesauce.

CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC POTATO PANCAKES

The one and only way to not get perfectly crispy potato pancakes is to not squeeze them properly. More than half the procedure was dedicated to grating, soaking, draining, and squeezing the potatoes. If you don't thoroughly squeeze all the liquid from the potatoes, the pancakes just won't crisp up as well. Top with thinly sliced smoked salmon, sour cream, and fresh dill.

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and onion into a large bowl and pour enough cold water in the bowl to cover by several inches. Let rest until potatoes and onion are completely soaked, 20 to 30 minutes. Pour potato mixture into a colander, rinse, drain, and squeeze repeatedly to remove all moisture.
  • Whisk eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Mix potato mixture and egg mixture together in a large bowl with a spatula.
  • Heat 1/4-inch oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, drop large spoonfuls of potato batter into hot oil and flatten with a spatula to about 1/2-inch thick. Cook until the edges of pancakes are golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, flip pancakes, and cook until golden brown and crispy on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking process with remaining batter.

BAKED POTATO LATKES

We love to eat potato skins, but I got tired of just using the starch that we scooped out for mashed potatoes. I thought: 'Hmmm, latkes, that could be interesting.' So I tooled around with a the basics of latkes until I had a recipe that I liked. They were such a hit with the family that it's been a staple ever since.

POTATO LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)

Latkas are a tradition for Channukah, but they are great anytime. This recipe makes about 15 latkas, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Easy to make, just allow time to stand at the stove with multiple frying pans. I use every burner that is open to speed it up. Traditionally served with applesauce on the side. Some people also top the pancakes with a little sour cream.

Steps:

  • Wash and cut the potatoes small enough to fit through the top of the food processor for shredding. DO NOT PEEL.
  • Add potato & onion to the food processor using the shredding blade, alternating between the two (the onion keeps the potatoes from browning).
  • Mix beaten eggs, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add potatoes and onions and stir well.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high in skillet (use multiple skillets to speed up the time to cook).
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop about 1/3-1/2 cup of potato mixture into spoon, allowing excess liquid to drain back into the bowl.
  • Drop potato mixture into hot oil in frying pan.
  • Flip over when bottom is browned, then smash down to flatten into a pancake.
  • Fry on 2nd side until brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and then transfer to a cookie sheet in a single layer.
  • Repeat until all of the latkas are done.
  • At this point, the latkas can be served immediately, frozen or refrigerated to be served within 24 hours.
  • NOTE: Reheat refrigerated latkas at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes and frozen ones at 450 degrees for 7-10 minutes.

POTATO LATKES (PANCAKES)

These are sauteed pancakes, and delicious. This is the way my grandmother made them, and they were served at the Jewish holidays of Hanukah and during the 8 days of Passover, but not at the Seder (dinner and religious service), but for a light supper. They are good served as a side dish with the Winter Vegetable Plate in my cookbook. If you don't have Matzo Meal (which is also great for breading meat or fish),substitute all purpose flour.

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, apple, and onion.
  • Put them through a meat grinder, if you have one. Alternatively, grate them in food prcessor or blender.
  • Pour off some of the excess water from grated potatoes.
  • Beat eggs lightly in medium bowl and add grated potato mixture, salt, and matzo meal or flour.
  • Pour about 1" of oil in large skillet and heat until a few drops of water sizzle when they hit the oil.
  • Drop the mixture by tablespoons into the hot oil.
  • Brown latkes to golden color, then flip over and brown the other side.
  • Immediately remove to double or triple layer of paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with apple sauce and sour cream'.
  • If you can't serve at once, put in 190 deg. F oven. I put each batch in the oven as soon as they are drained, so that all are good and crisp. I also usually double or triple the recipe according to the number of people eating.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to its lowest setting. Using either the largest holes of a hand-grater or the shredding blade of a food processor, grate the potatoes, onion, and carrot. Place the mixture in a sieve and press to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Combine the potato mixture in a large bowl with the eggs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a wooden spoon mix well. Stir in 1/2 of the bread crumbs, then add the remainder slowly, stopping when the mixture is just thick enough to hold its shape, but not so loose that it dribbles off a spoon.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 1/4-inch into a large, heavy skillet and heat over medium heat until a tiny drop of the batter sizzles upon contact. Using a 1/3-cup metal measure as a scoop, ladle the batter into the hot oil in the skillet, pressing each mound of batter into a small flat pancake: do not crowd the skillet. Fry the pancakes until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the pancakes to a platter and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining pancakes. Serve immediately.

MARCY GOLDMAN'S WORLD FAMOUS POTATO PANCAKES LATKES

This latke recipe is from Marcy Goldman's new cookbook, "The 10th Anniversary Edition of A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking". It uses an unusual method - parboiling the potatoes first. These will be the lightest, crispiest and fastest potato pancakes you ever made! For kids or onion haters, use 1 teaspoon onion powder instead of the grated onion. Make these bite-size for a tender centre and crisp outside and use tongs for both putting the batter in the oil and taking the latkes out.

Marcy Goldman's World Famous Potato Pancakes Latkes image

Steps:

  • The best way to fry these are in tiny dollops, dropped from a spoon (or I use metal kitchen tongs and pick up small clumps of batter) and use a deep wok. the cooking method is so important so follow the directions exactly for perfect results.
  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and just cover with cold water. Turn heat to high and allow to come to boil. As soon as potatoes are boiling, put a kitchen timer on for 10 minutes. When timer rings, remove potatoes from stove and cover with cold water. Drain immediately, then cover again with cold water. Let sit five minutes. Remove potatoes and pat dry.
  • Using a hand shredder (best) or food processor fitted with a medium disc, shred potatoes (with skins on). The potatoes should be slightly softened, but still firm enough to produce shreds. If the peel separates from the potato, discard it. If the peel gets grated in with the potatoes, it's fine and just incorporate it into the mixture. I like the hand grater best. When I use the processor, I use two thirds shredded then pulverized potatoes and one third shredded for a mixture than is bulky but still has shreds. Worth the trouble.
  • In a large bowl, blend shredded potatoes, grated onion, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Place newspaper on work surface (near frying area) and cover with a few paper towels. In a large deep skillet (I like to use a wok), pour in enough vegetable oil to fill about two thirds. If using an electric fry pan, set the temperature to 350°F or 375°F (depending on how fast you want the pancakes to cook). Drop potato batter by teaspoons (for small ones) or soup spoonfuls in small dollops, flattening slightly with a metal spatula if desired. I use large metal tongs for dropping and turning. Brown one side, turn once, and complete cooking on other side. These cook quickly. You're looking for a puffy centre while retaining some crisp shreds of potato on edges.
  • Serve immediately or freeze. To reheat, place latkes on a large wire cake rack on a cookie sheet. Warm at 250°F until crisp. For freezing purposes, fry them a little underdone to allow for browning in the re-heating stage.

CRISPY POTATO LATKES

Crispy potato latkes are more than just Hanukkah hash browns-they're a crispy/creamy treat for everything from breakfast in bed to a midnight snack. Vegetable oil works great, but duck fat or (mmm!) schmaltz makes them extra awesome.

Crispy Potato Latkes image

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large mixing bowl with a clean dish towel. Position the box grater in the bowl and grate the potatoes and onion using the largest holes. Bundle the towel and wring out the excess water into the bowl. The more moisture you release, the crispier the latkes will be. Discard the liquid.
  • Heat duck fat, schmaltz, or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 350 degrees F). Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix grated potatoes and onion with 2 eggs, flour, matzo meal, and salt until there's no visible flour. If the mixture seems dry and it's not holding together, add one more egg.
  • Using your hands, form the latke mixture into golf ball-sized balls, then flatten slightly into thick pancakes. Gently place them one at a time into the oil, which should bubble around the latke but not burn the edges. Fill the pan with just enough latkes so they don't overcrowd the pan (you'll probably get about a half-batch in). Fry until golden on one side, 1-2 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until golden, 1-2 more minutes.
  • Remove latkes to a wire rack fitted over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Finish cooking the inside by baking, 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled (about 3)
1/2 medium yellow onion
3 cups duck fat, chicken fat (schmaltz), olive oil, or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons matzo meal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Kosher salt and black pepper

Latkes (Potato Pancakes) image

Steps:

  • Shred potatoes, using coarse shredder blade of food processor. Transfer half the potatoes to a mesh sieve set over a medium bowl.
  • Change food processor to steel chopping blade. Add onions to potatoes and process until coarsely chopped (about 1/8" chunks), 5-6 one-second pulses.
  • Move potato-onion mixture to sieve and combine with shredded potato. Squeeze fistfuls of this mixture to remove as much liquid as possible; transfer to a dry bowl. Let remaining liquid sit in bowl until starch settles to bottom, then drain off the clear liquid, leaving the starch behind.
  • Beat eggs, salt and pepper into starch, then add dry potato-onion mixture and fold together thoroughly. Add matzo meal until mixture is stiff enough to form patties.
  • Pour oil into 12" saute pan until it is 1/4" deep and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Take 1/4 cup of potato mixture, press into 1/2"-thick disc and place in oil; press gently with spatula. Repeat until there are 5 latkes in pan.
  • Adjust heat to keep edges of pancakes bubbling; fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn over and fry until golden brown all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a triple layer of paper towels on a sheet pan. When oil is shimmering again, repeat.
