Classic Potato Latkes with Dill
Servings: 16 Large Latkes
Calories: 84kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potatoes russet or yellow potatoes work well
- 1 large onion
- High heat cooking oil such as avocado oil, for cooking
- 4 large eggs
- 9 tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca starch
- 3 teaspoons sea salt
- 1½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes. (If you are doing this step ahead of time, place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to proceed, remove from water and pat dry.)
- If the potatoes are large, cut them in half.
- Grate the potatoes using the shredding disk on a food processor.
- Transfer to a large colander.
- Grate the onion using the shredding disk and add to the potatoes.
- Gather a large handful of the potatoes and onions in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Place in a large bowl.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and onions.
- Pour a thin layer (about ¼-inch) of oil into a large skillet set over high heat. (Tip: Work with 2 skillets to save time!)
- Stir the eggs, starch, salt, pepper, and dill into the potato mixture.
- When the oil is hot, use a large scoop to drop the batter in the pan and flatten each latke to about ½-inch thickness. Be careful not to crowd the pan.
- Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until browned.
- Transfer to paper towel-lined cooling racks and allow to drain and cool.
- Continue cooking latkes until all of the batter has been used.
Notes
Latkes may be kept on a baking sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve. Latkes may be made ahead of time and frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transferred to a zip-top bag. To reheat, place a baking sheet in the oven and heat to 425°F. Place the latkes on the hot baking sheet and bake for 10 -15 minutes.
