How to Make Sweet Cottage Cheese Latkes

  1. In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the drained cottage cheese, egg yolks, flour, sugar, heavy cream, salt, and lemon zest. Beat until completely smooth and well incorporated.
  2. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small amount of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.
  4. Using a spoon or a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil for each latke. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry the latkes for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  6. As needed, add more oil to the pan to maintain the appropriate level for frying.
  7. Remove the cooked latkes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Keep the latkes warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven until ready to serve. Serve warm and enjoy!
