latke recipe

Looking for the perfect latke recipe for Hanukkah? Whether you serve them with sour cream or applesauce, these ultra-crispy potato pancakes will be a hit with the whole family.

Classic Latkes

lb. Russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 medium)

eggs,

c. all-purpose flour

kosher salt, divided

Canola oil,

tbsp. chives

Applesauce,

Sour cream,

Followed this recipe as written.  Way too much flour.  Made them too dense and didn’t get too crispy.  Would not make again.

Simple recipe, with endless possibilities. I made a double batch, first half I cooked straight (delicious). The second half I added shredded cheese and bacon. Just as good.

Great as is! I’ve tried a few recipes and this one works for me. I didn’t have chives, but added some onion powder to the mix and still got a good flavor out of them. Thanks for posting!

Written like a true Gentile. You need 44 candles and 8 matches to celebrate Hanukkah, Rian.

Our Classic Latkes Will Make You Wish it Was Hanukkah all Year Long

Forget blinis &#8211; when it comes to dinner party nibbles, it&#8217;s all about these crisp, rösti-style potato pancakes topped with smoked salmon and fresh horseradish cream.

Smoked salmon latkes with Scandinavian horseradish cream

floury potatoes,

onion

free-range eggs, beaten

tbsp self-raising flour

olive oil

(16 small slices) smoked salmon

dill

For the horseradish cream

4-5 tsp freshly grated horseradish, according

red onion, very finely chopped

fresh dill, finely chopped

milliliters soured cream

Heat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan/gas 2. For the horseradish cream, mix the horseradish, onion and dill into the soured cream in a small bowl with some seasoning. Cover and set aside in the fridge until needed.

Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion using a food processor or box grater. Put them into a bowl and mix in ½ tsp salt and some black pepper. Wrap handfuls of the mixture in a square of muslin or a new J-cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Transfer them to a large bowl as you go, loosen the strands with a fork, then stir in the eggs and flour so everything is well coated. The mix will look a bit dry but don’t worry – this is what creates crunch.

Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Drop 4 heaped tbsp of the mixture into the pan, spaced well apart, then flatten slightly with the back of a fork. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then carefully flip over and cook for 3-4 minutes more until crisp on the outside and cooked through. Lift each batch onto a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper and keep hot in a low oven while you cook the rest.

Ruffle a small piece of salmon on top of each latke, spoon on some horseradish cream and garnish with dill. Serve with lemon wedges.

Create new holiday traditions this Hanukkah with a veganized and gluten-free version of potato latke.

Vegan Latkes

lbs russet potatoes, grated (leave the skin on)

½ medium onion, diced

applesauce

Matzo meal or flour (gluten-free as needed)

tbsp arrowroot starch

tsp sea salt

coconut oil,

sour cream chives

Prep potatoes

Pat the russet potatoes dry then set aside.

Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, toss together the onions and grated potatoes. Add in the applesauce, matzo meal, arrowroot starch, and sea salt. Mix until well combined and an almost “batter” has formed.

Cook latke 

Heat a large skillet pan with coconut oil on medium-high heat. Add 3-4 tbsp of potato batter per Latke to the pan. Use the back of a spoon to push the edges in to create a rounded Latke. Repeat for as many Latkes as you can fit on the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, until golden brown, then flip and repeat.

Plate and enjoy

Plate the cooked Latkes, and repeat for the remaining batter. Top and serve with fresh chives and vegan sour cream.
