Equipment

  • Blackstone griddle (or other large surface griddle)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ pounds (568 g) Russet potatoes (about 3 medium) peeled
  • 1 small onion halved
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Oil, for frying
  • Sour cream and chives or applesauce for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Grate the potatoes and onion halves on the large holes of a box grater.
  • Gather the grated potatoes and onion in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and twist both ends to squeeze out as much water as possible. There will be lots!
  • Combine the grated potato and onion, egg, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Heat a large outdoor griddle (Blackstone) to medium high. Pour enough oil on the surface to coat it with a thin layer of oil. You can use a silicone brush to spread it evenly over the surface.
  • Drop scoops (2 to 3 tablespoons) of batter onto the griddle and press lightly with the back of a spatula to flatten them to about ¼-inch thick.
  • Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, adding more oil if needed and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain and serve warm with sour cream and chives or applesauce, if desired.

Notes

  • Work quickly--Assemble and cook your latkes as quickly as possible after grating the potato as it will begin to discolor quickly.
  • Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze--Take time to really squeeze as much liquid as you can out of your potato mixture. Wet potato cakes will fall apart!
  • Keep it level--Make sure that your outdoor griddle is level so that the oil evenly coats the surface.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for dairy-free and vegetarian diets.
