Potato Pancakes Latkes Low Fat Baked Version Recipes

Steps:

• Grate potatoes and onion into a bowl or pulse in food processor. Drain any excess liquid, then add the eggs, matzo meal, salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon the mixture into hot oil forming small pancakes. Cook until underside is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until other side is golden and potatoes are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Serve hot with sour cream or applesauce.

Steps:

• Mix potato, onion, eggs, crackers, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
• Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to fill about 1/2-inch deep; heat over medium-high heat.
• Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture, first pressing potato mixture against the side of the bowl to remove excess liquid, into the hot oil; slightly flatten the latkes into the oil with the back of your spoon so they are evenly thick.
• Cook in hot oil until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain latkes on a plate lined with a paper towel.

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.
