Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb russet potatoes, peeled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 medium onion, peeled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt, to sprinkle
- Vegetable oil or extra light olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onions on the large holes of a box grater or food processor. Transfer to cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the egg. Add the squeezed potatoes and stir until evenly coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1/4 inch of oil. Once shimmering, add batter by heaping tablespoon and press to form disks. Fry until edges are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes more.
- Transfer latkes to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed. Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
