Directions

Make the Latkes
  • Peel and shred the potatoes. Place them into a colander and thoroughly rinse with cold water. Leave to drain in the colander while peeling and shredding the onion.

  • Shake the excess water off the potatoes as much as possible and transfer them to a large bowl. Add in shredded onion, egg, flour, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

  • Squeeze the mixture between your fingers, one small portion at a time, and try to make it as dry as possible. Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Thoroughly grease a muffin pan with olive oil. Distribute the potato mixture between muffin holes, pressing into the bottom to achieve a regular pancake thickness. Brush with olive oil and bake for 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before removing from the holes.

  • Serve latkes with sour cream or Greek yogurt and the beet salad.

Notes

The number of pancakes depends on the type of shredder that you use. I use a very sharp mandolin with a shredding attachment that produces more volume than a regular box grater.
