Baked Latkes Food

BAKED POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Pour potatoes, onion, garlic, salt, ground peppercorns, flour, and eggs into a bowl, respectively. Fold mixture together with a rubber spatula until ingredients are well coated with egg and garlic, salt, and pepper are evenly mixed throughout. Break up any large potato chunks.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Form latke dough into baseball-size balls and flatten into 1-inch thick rounds.
• Working in batches, place latkes in hot oil and cook until edges are a rich brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip latkes using a slotted spoon and cook until crisp and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.

OVEN-FRIED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mist a baking sheet with the cooking spray.
• Peel the potatoes and then grate on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a fine-mesh sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible into a bowl. Let the liquid settle for about 10 minutes, and then pour off the watery liquid, reserving the potato starch.
• Beat the egg white in a large bowl until it holds a soft peak. Gently fold in the potatoes, scallions, reserved potato starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Drop the mixture by tablespoons on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the latkes about 2 inches apart. Gently spread and flatten into 2 1/2-inch rounds. Roast until the bottoms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and roast until the potatoes are cooked through and the bottoms are spotted brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Serve with the applesauce and sour cream.

BAKED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper marked as safe for high heat baking or with nonstick foil. Spray the parchment paper or foil with oil.
• Grate the potatoes using your food processor's grating attachment. Wipe the food processor clean with a paper towel, and use the food processor's standard blade to chop the onion.
• Place the shredded potatoes and the chopped onion in a colander over a bowl and press firmly with your hands, repeatedly, to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Empty the bowl from the liquid, wipe with a paper towel, and transfer the potato/onion mixture to the bowl.
• In another small bowl, beat the egg with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Add the egg mixture to the potato mixture and stir, then add the flour and stir to combine.
• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the prepared baking sheet, forming 12 very thin pancakes- press with your hands to flatten the patties as much as you can, while keeping their shape.
• Generously spray the latkes with oil.
• Bake the latkes for 15 minutes, until crisp and deep golden brown on the bottom. Remove pan from oven, flip the latkes to the other side, spray again with oil, and bake 10-15 more minutes, until crisp and deep golden brown on the second side.
• Serve immediately, with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.

POTATO LATKES

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.

LATKES (POTATO PANCAKES)

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.

LATKES

Steps:

• Push the potatoes through the fine grater disc of the food processor.
• Remove and drain in a sieve, pushing well to get out as much liquid as you can.
• Fit the double-bladed knife to the processor and put in the onion, eggs, salt, pepper and 2 tbsp flour.
• Process briefly, add the grated potatoes and give another pulse or two until the mixture is pulpy but not puréed.
• Add more flour if it's at all runny as opposed to just a sticky, thick mess.
• Fry the latkes in lumps of about 1 tbsp each in a heavy frying pan with hot oil.
• The oil should be about 1 cm deep and it should take 3-5 minutes a side or even less.
• Flatten them slightly when you turn them over.
• If making ahead, at this point you can spread the latkes out on a baking sheet and let cool.
• Keep overnight in the fridge or freeze and when you are ready to eat them cook in a 200 C oven.
• It will take 5-7 minutes if they're from the fridge or a bit longer if they're frozen.
• When ready to serve, top with a little smoked salmon and a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.

POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate by hand, transferring to a large bowl of cold water as grated. Soak potatoes 1 to 2 minutes after last batch is added to water, then drain well in a colander.
• Spread grated potatoes and onion on a kitchen towel and roll up jelly-roll style. Twist towel tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer potato mixture to a bowl and stir in egg and salt.
• Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4 latkes, spoon 2 tablespoons potato mixture per latke into skillet, spreading into 3-inch rounds with a fork. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes. Turn latkes over and cook until undersides are browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Add more oil to skillet as needed. Keep latkes warm on a wire rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven.

CLASSIC POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
• Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
• Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.
