List of Ingredients
Two-Potato Latkes
.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated fresh onion
1 pound shredded peeled baking potato
1/2 pound shredded peeled sweet potato
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/4 ounces)
1/3 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
Green onion strips (optional)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Drizzle a jelly-roll pan evenly with oil, tilting pan to coat.
Combine grated onion and potatoes in a sieve; squeeze out excess
moisture. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a
knife. Combine potato mixture, flour, and next 5 ingredients (through
egg) in a large bowl.
Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, squeezing out excess liquid. Shape
each portion into a 1/4-inch-thick patty; place on prepared pan.
Lightly coat tops of patties with cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees F
for 12 minutes. Carefully turn patties over; cook 30 minutes or until
lightly browned, turning every 10 minutes. Garnish with green onion
strips, if desired.
