Best Kittencals Crispy Potato And Green Onion Pancakes Latkes Recipes
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 :)

Steps:
- Grate the potatoes using a the coarse side if the grater or use a food processor.
- Place into a large bowl and cover with cold water.
- Allow the grated potatoes to soak for at least a minimum of 8 hours or even up to 2 days.
- Using your hands firmly squeeze handfuls of the grated potatoes to remove as much liquid as possible, then place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in egg, flour, seasoned salt and pepper; mix well with a wooden spoon, then add in the green onions and parsley (if using).
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Place a heaping tablespoonful of the potato mixture into the hot skillet and using a fork, flatten slightly (the edges will be uneven!).
- Sprinkle with more salt if desired.
- Place only a few pancakes in the pan, careful not to over crowd.
- Cook until golden and crisp on both sides adding in more oil if needed).
- Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
- DELICIOUS!
KITTENCAL'S ONION PATTIES/LATKES
I have been making these for over 20 years, I usually get about 15 patties but it depends on the size of the batter that you drop in the pan, these are better if fried to very brown and crispy, you can make a double recipe, fry them then freeze them on a tray then pop them into freezer bags, then just warm them in the oven to crisp up, they are very addicting and I can tell you I eat half before they even get to the table lol! If you plan on doubling the recipe then make two separate recipes in two bowls, I have doubled the recipe into one bowl and for some reason they just are not as good --- if desired you could add in a slightly beaten large egg and reduce the milk by 1/4 cup --- you will *love* these! also see my recipe#186700 *and* recipe#244592

Steps:
- Chop the onions finely (I chop them about 1/4-inch) then place into a bowl.
- In another large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, seasoning salt, cayenne, garlic powder (if using) and a small amount of black pepper; mix to combine well.
- Add in the milk and whisk until thoroughly combined (the batter will be thick!).
- Add in the chopped onions and green onions and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
- In a large non-stick frypan, heat a small amount of oil to medium-hot, adding in more oil as needed as the patties will absorb too much oil if you add in a large amount of oil at one time.
- Drop the batter from a tablespoon (no more than about a tablespoon!) into about 1/2-inch of hot oil (I slide the batter off using off another spoon).
- Flatten slightly with the spoon or spatula.
- Sprinkle with a little salt.
- Fry until crispy and brown on both sides.
- **NOTE** these tend to hold a bit of oil so drain well on paper towels.
