Step 3: Fry & serve
For serving
- sour cream
- applesauce
- potato mixture
Latke components
- cooking oil
Heat a layer of oil in a pan.
Add large spoonfuls of the potato mixture — enough to flatten into a rough 3” (8 cm) circle — and until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip each and brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
- Drain latkes on a wire rack or paper towel and immediately season with another sprinkle of salt.
Serve with applesauce and/or sour cream for dipping.
