Skillet Latke

• 份量: 1 serving

配料

1- pound Yukon gold potatoes (scrubbed clean and cut to fit your food processor (peeling optional)

½ medium onion (peeled and halved)

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (matzo meal, or potato starch)

1 teaspoon sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 ½ Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil (divided)

Flaky salt to finish

Serving suggestions: applesauce and/or sour cream are traditional

步骤

Preheat the oven to 475 F degrees.

Shred potatoes and onions in a food processor with the grating attachment. Place a nut milk bag or clean kitchen towel over a large bowl. Transfer potatoes and onion into the bag or towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can into the bowl. Discard the liquid that makes it into the bowl, but don’t rinse it. You want to keep the white starchy residue that sticks to the bottom of the bowl.

Add the squeezed potato and onion mixture to the bowl. Add the egg, panko, salt and pepper. Mix well until ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Heat 3 Tablespoons of oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. You can test the oil by adding a pinch of the latke mixture. If it sizzles upon contact, the skillet is ready. Add the latke mixture to the skillet and pat it firmly into a single even layer. Brush the top with the remaining ½ Tablespoon of oil and transfer to the oven.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the edges look crisp. The top may not be golden yet. Remove from the oven, flip the latke over and cook for 5 minutes on the stovetop over medium heat, until the underside is golden. Another option is to set the broiler to HI before flipping the latke and broil for 1 minute or until the top starts to turn golden. Be careful not to let the edges burn. Remove from the broiler and flip latke over. It should flip easily. Serve straight out of the skillet (be careful as it will be hot!) or transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt and serve immediately with applesauce and sour cream, if desired.
