Directions
Kittencal’s Crispy Potato and Green Onion Pancakes (Latkes), This recipe goes back 30 years or more, my family *loves* these! you can make these ahead of time and then freeze, just cool and place on a large baking sheet to freeze, when frozen stack in a freezer container or pop them into a freezer bag, to reheat and re-crisp, defrost the pancakes then place in a 400 degree oven for about 8 minutes turn over then continue baking until crisp, I strongly suggest to double the recipe these will be half gone before they even make it to the table! I like to add in some cayenne pepper and a bit of garlic powder but that is optional — yield is only estimated you should get between 20-23 pancakes for this recipe, to make things easier use your processor to grate the potatoes, plan ahead the grated potatoes need to soak for a minimum of 8-24 hours or even up to 2 days to remove some of the starch, the longer soaking time the crispier they will be — serve with sour cream :), Loved these! I let them soak for 5 hours and turned out great Only cooked half and froze the remaining Hope they will be ok when I cook them Loved how crispy they were Didn’t take long and served with a great BBQ steak , you call them Latlkes I call them hash browns Have tried numerous times to make hash browns and never even thought of frying them in small batches Had no green onion and used white They were tasty, , , , BUT what a mess they make!!
