Difficulty: Beginner Servings: 4

Cooking method: Ninja Foodi, Traditional Recipe themes: H Hanukkah

Ingredients

Servings

• 4 large potatoes (floury type such as Russet or Bintje)

• 1 medium onion

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons of rice flour or cornstarch (cornflour)

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• ^1/2 _tsp pepper​​

• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Peel the potatoes and grate them finely using a grater or food processor.
2. Finely slice the onion as well. Place the potatoes and onion in a clean tea towel, then squeeze firmly to remove as much water as possible. This step is essential for achieving crispy latkes.
3. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the drained potatoes and onion with the eggs, rice flour (or cornstarch), salt, and pepper. Mix well to obtain a smooth dough.
4. Cooking the latkes: Heat a good amount of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
5. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to form pancakes. Cook each latke for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
7. Serving: Serve the latkes warm, accompanied by applesauce, sour cream or a yogurt sauce for a contrast of flavors.

Note

You can also cook the laktates in your airfryer by brushing them with oil beforehand: in the Ninja foodi, on airfry 200 degrees, for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
