Description

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these Stage Deli-style potato latkes are a comforting classic. Made with starchy Russet potatoes, a touch of matzo meal for binding, and fresh onion, they offer a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with tangy sour cream and sweet applesauce. Whether you are celebrating Hanukkah or simply craving a savory side dish, these latkes bring home-style warmth to your table. The key is squeezing out excess moisture from the potatoes to ensure maximum crispiness. They are easy to make in batches and keep warm in the oven, making them ideal for feeding a crowd or enjoying as a cozy meal for two.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the peeled, cubed potatoes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, being careful not to turn them into a puree.
  2. Transfer the chopped potatoes to a fine-mesh strainer set over a large bowl. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon or with your hands to extract as much liquid as possible.
  3. Discard the potato liquid that has drained into the bowl.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until blended.
  5. Add the drained potatoes, grated onion, and matzo meal to the beaten eggs. Mix well to combine.
  6. Season the potato mixture generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Preheat the oven to 200&# 194;°F (95ðC).
  8. Pour vegetable oil into a heavy large skillet to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  9. Working in batches, drop the potato mixture into the hot skillet by quarter-cupfuls.
  10. Using a metal spatula, gently flatten each mound into a 3-inch diameter pancake.
  11. Cook until the bottoms are deep golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side.
  12. Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  13. Place the drained latkes in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.
  14. Serve the warm latkes topped with sour cream and applesauce.
