Chanukah Potato Latkes by Chef Kendra
Chef Kendra's Chanukah Potato Latkes made in the air fryer cuts down on clean up and excess oil. This recipe makes it easy to prepare crispy, golden latkes for your Chanukah celebration or any occasion throughout the year.
Ingredients
- 2 Idaho or russet potatoes, peeled
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 cup matzo meal, plus extra
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp horseradish
- 1 tsp dried fennel, ground
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
Preparation
Start by setting up a large mixing bowl with a clean dish towel. Using the larger holes on your box grater, grate your peeled russet potatoes and yellow onion over top of your clean dish towel and bowl.
Once grated, ring out all of the moisture from the shredded potatoes and onions over top of the bowl and discard the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl combine the potatoes and onions with matzo meal, egg, horseradish, fennel, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on the tray of the air fryer and drizzle extra virgin olive oil. Using a tablespoon, spoon out the potato latke mixture onto the tray and gently press to make them about ¾ of an inch thick. Give your latkes a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top.
Cook
Turn on your air fryer, preheat to 375°F, and set for 15 minutes. Once your air fryer is preheated, place them onto a lower rack.
Be sure to flip the latkes about halfway through the cooking process to get both sides crispy. Feel free to increase the heat or add more time based on your air fryer!
Plating
Serve your potato latkes hot with some homemade applesauce and/or sour cream.
Bete'avon!
