Ingredients
2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and grated
0.5 large onion, finely grated
1 garlic clove, grated
1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
0.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them into a large bowl, working quickly to prevent oxidation. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much excess moisture as possible, then transfer to a dry bowl.
Finely grate the onion and garlic clove directly into the potato mixture. Add the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper, and stir until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is cohesive.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot. For each latke, drop a heaping spoonful (about 2 tablespoons) of the potato mixture onto the hot surface and press gently with a spatula to form a thin, compact pancake about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
Cook each latke for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side until both sides are evenly browned and the edges are dark and crunchy.
Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess moisture. Serve hot as a satisfying vegetable-based main course.
Comments
All six ingredients are stocked year-round at any Charlotte grocer, making this a one-stop shop without premium costs. At roughly 50 cents per latke (bulk potatoes and onions dominate the expense), the cost per serving is genuinely cheap. The stated 35 minutes is honest for mixing and pan-frying a batch this size, though you'll need to work in shifts and the latkes demand constant attention to avoid burning. The real win is that 26 servings means this is built for a crowd or serious meal prep, and crispy latkes reheat decently in a 350-degree oven, making it a solid weeknight anchor that stretches into leftovers."
