Air fryer Latkes
LATKES:
2 shallots
6 potatoes, like Yukon Golds, peeled and quartered
Pinch of baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper or to taste
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons flour
Olive oil spray to coat the air fryer basket
……………………………………………………..
TOPPINGS (optional):
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
Gravlax, fresh dill, and capers
Applesauce, apple slices, and cinnamon
Directions:
- In food processor, grate shallots and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Grate potatoes and transfer to a colander. Use paper towels or cheesecloth to squeeze out moisture. [Note: Enclose the potato mixture in batches in the paper towels or cheese cloth and seriously squeeze out the liquid.] Add the potatoes to the bowl of shallots.
- Add baking soda to prevent the shallot-potato mixture from turning brown.
- Add eggs, salt, pepper, baking powder, and flour; mix well.
- Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
- To shape the latkes, use a 1/4-cup measuring cup, and gently flatten each latke with the bottom of the measuring cup. Continue to scoop in 1/4-cup amounts into air fryer basket in a single layer. (Note: The Cuisinart air fryer-toaster oven basket holds about eight 3-inch wide latkes.)
- Air fry at 375°F until the latkes are crispy and golden brown (about 8 to 10 minutes).
- Serve with toppings.
