Garlic-infused Hanukkah Latkes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onion using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 beaten eggs, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Scoop up 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and carefully place it in the hot oil, flattening it with a spatula to form a pancake. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil between batches.
- Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Keep them warm in a 200°F oven while you finish frying the remaining batches.
- Serve the garlic-infused Hanukkah latkes hot with sour cream or applesauce on the side. Enjoy!
The history of Hanukkah Latkes dates back to the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, celebrating the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days. Latkes, delicious potato pancakes, are a traditional dish served during this festive time. The addition of garlic adds a delightful savory flavor to the crispy exterior and tender interior of the latkes. Renowned chefs in Jewish communities worldwide, from New York's Lower East Side to Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda Market, have perfected their own versions of this beloved dish. For the best Hanukkah Latkes with a hint of garlic, be sure to finely grate the potatoes and onions, and don't skimp on the garlic for that extra burst of flavor.
