Photo by: Dasha Wright Ewing
These essential Hanukkah treats have an unusual—and healthy—twist which makes cooking them a breeze: They’re baked, not fried.
Serves 8
Hands-On Time: 15m
Total Time: 30m
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds (5 medium) peeled medium-starch potatoes, such as Yukon gold
1 medium red onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
applesauce and sour cream, for serving
Directions
Heat oven to 450° F.
Brush 2 baking sheets with 1 tablespoon of the oil and set aside.
Using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade, coarsely grate the potatoes.
Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl with the onion, flour, salt, pepper, eggs, and the remaining tablespoon of oil.
Toss to mix well.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets and press lightly to make patties.
Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
Turn the latkes with a metal spatula and rotate the baking sheets.
Bake another 5 minutes or until golden.
Transfer to a platter and serve with the applesauce and sour cream.
