Oven-Fried Potato Latkes

Oven-Fried Potato Latkes
Crispy and delicious potato latkes baked to golden perfection, served with sour cream and applesauce.

Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes (2 to 3 potatoes)
1 medium yellow onion, peeled (about the size of a baseball)
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sour cream and applesauce, for serving

Instructions

 

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and set two oven racks in the centermost positions.

2️⃣ Make the Batter:

Peel the potatoes, then coarsely grate them with the onion using a food processor fitted with the steel blade or by hand using a box grater.
Place the potato and onion mixture in a fine sieve over the sink or a large bowl and press down firmly with paper towels or a clean dishcloth to wring out excess moisture. Stir and repeat a few times with fresh paper towels until the liquid is mostly drained.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the potato and onion mixture, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until evenly combined.
3️⃣ Oven Method:

Fill two heavy nonstick rimmed baking sheets with 1/2 cup oil each. Place the pans in the oven for 10 minutes to heat the oil.
Wearing oven mitts, carefully remove the pans from the oven. Drop mounds of batter (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the baking sheets, spacing the latkes about 1½ inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, press down on the latkes to flatten slightly.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bottoms are crisp and golden. Carefully remove the pans from the oven and flip the latkes using tongs. Place the pans back in the oven and cook until the latkes are crisp and golden brown all over, about 10 minutes more.
Remove the pans from the oven and transfer the latkes to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain.
4️⃣ Serve:
Serve the latkes warm with sour cream and applesauce.
