Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Potato Latkes.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large mixing bowl and combine your shredded potatoes with minced onions, beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a splash of lemon juice.
Step 2
This mixture is the heart of your delicious patties, so make sure everything is well blended.
Step 3
To elevate the flavor, sprinkle in some ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste—don’t be shy, this is where you can really make it your own! Once your mixture is ready, shape it into 12 evenly sized patties, ensuring they’re nice and compact for frying.
Step 4
Next, heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
You want it hot enough to sizzle but not so hot that it smokes.
Step 6
Carefully add the potato patties to the skillet in batches, giving them enough space to cook evenly.
Step 7
Fry each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown and feel tender, which should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 8
As they cook, the aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Once they’re perfectly browned, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to soak up any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat this process with the remaining patties, and soon you’ll have a delightful batch ready to enjoy.
Step 10
These crispy, golden potato patties are perfect as a snack or a side dish, and they’re sure to impress your family and friends!.
