Oven-Baked Potato Pancakes

步骤

1. 1

   Wash hands with soap and water.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Lightly oil the baking sheets by spreading the oil around with your clean hand or a paper towel.

3. 3

   Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

4. 4

   Use the large holes on your grater to grate the potato, then grate the onion too.

5. 5

   Put the potato and onion mixture in the colander inside the sink. Using a paper towel, press the potato mixture down to squeeze out and blot up some of the extra moisture. Stir it and blot again.

6. 6

   Put the potato mixture in the large bowl, add the egg, and stir well. Add the flour mixture and stir it very well.

7. 7

   Use a spoon or your fingers to pluck a clump of the potato mixture from the bowl and spread it into a round, flat nest on the oiled baking sheet: it should make a circle that's about 3 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick. Repeat to fill the sheet. (You don't need to leave space between them.)

8. 8

   Bake until the bottoms are deeply golden, 15 to 20 minutes, then turn the pancakes over and put them back in the over for 10 more minutes.

9. 9

   Serve the latkes with applesauce and yogurt (optional).
