Air Fryer Latkes

Potato Side Dish - Side Dish

Potato latkes are usually fried, on top of the stove, but the air fryers on the market right now are a great way to prepare this popular dish. This method yields a crispy latke that can be an appetizer or a dinner side. If you have an oil sprayer, you can use your oil of choice. I used purchased avocado oil spray, to give that beautiful brown color. Serve with sour cream or applesauce, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container, up to 5 days.

Air Fryer Latkes

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package frozen shredded hash brown potatoes

thawed

½ cup shredded onion

1 egg

kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons matzo meal

avocado oil cooking spray

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Lay out a sheet of parchment or waxed paper.

Step 2

Place thawed potatoes and shredded onion on several layers of paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and press to squeeze out most of the liquid.

Step 3

Whisk together egg salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in potatoes and onion with a fork. Sprinkle matzo meal on top and stir until ingredients are evenly distributed. Use your hands to form mixture into ten 3- to 4-inch wide patties. Place patties on the parchment or waxed paper.

Step 4

Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Carefully place half of the patties in the basket and spray generously with cooking spray.

Step 5

Air-fry until crispy and dark golden brown on the outside 10 to 12 minutes. (Check for doneness at 8 minutes if you prefer a softer latke.) Remove latkes to a plate. Repeat with remaining patties spraying them with cooking spray before cooking.
