Sheet Pan Latkes

 

Inspired by our friend, Adeena Sussman, we decided to test out her recipe for Sheet Pan Potato Latkes and let's just say, we're never going back to the more traditional version. This latke technique is genius! It cuts out so much of the work and also means no more hovering over a fry pan filled with hot oil!  We tweaked Adeena's recipe a little by adding a teaspoon of Garlic Salt to the mix and used regular flour instead of potato starch, which still turned out delicious!  
Top your latke squares with whatever you like, but don't miss out on channelling your inner Jackson Pollock with our squeezy tahini! 


INGREDIENTS
 
For the latkes
1 ¾-2 lbs skin-on potatoes, scrubbed  
1 medium to large onion, peeled 
2 eggs 
2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste 
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
¼ c potato starch 
¼-⅓ c olive oil
 
For toppings 
For this particular recipe, we topped our latke with labne, fried eggs, chives, a squeeze of lemon, and a generous drizzle of our Spicy Tahini!

STEPS

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grate the potatoes & onions on the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Using both hands, squeeze out and discard as much of the liquid from the potatoes; transfer them to a second bowl. Add the oil to a quarter-sheet pan (or 9 x 13 inch glass metal baking dish); place to the oven an heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking, 7 to 8 minutes.  During last 2 minutes of oil heating stir the eggs, salt, pepper, and potato starch into the potato-onion mixture.

2. Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Quickly pour and spread the latke batter across the pan; tip and spoon any excess oil over the top. Bake until deep golden brown and crisp, 23 to 25 minutes (or longer as needed).
