How to Make Easy Potato Latkes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place 1/2 cup of oil in each of two 9x13 inch baking pans. Place pans in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to heat the oil.
- While the oil heats, peel and grate the potatoes and onion.
- Place the grated potatoes and onions in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy latkes!
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes and onions with eggs, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix well.
- Carefully remove the hot baking pans from the oven. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop the potato mixture into the hot oil, spacing them evenly. Gently press down to flatten slightly and ensure the pan is full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the latkes are golden brown on the bottom. Carefully flip the latkes using a spatula and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
