How to Make Potato Pancakes With Apples

  1. Peel and grate the potatoes and apple using a food processor or box grater.
  2. Place the grated potatoes and apples in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy latkes!
  3. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes and apples with the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
  5. Using a spoon or 1/4 cup measure, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot skillet, leaving some space between each latke. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  7. As the latkes are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack or baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Keep finished latkes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while you cook the remaining batter.
  9. Once all latkes are cooked, serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
