Instructions
Place all ingredients from the list except the nonstick cooking oil spray into a food processor.
Process about 45 seconds, pausing 2–3 times to scrape down the sides, until the mixture becomes a thick batter that holds together.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with nonstick cooking oil spray just before adding batter.
Use a spoon to scoop 1–2 tablespoons of batter per latke and drop it onto the hot skillet. After it hits the skillet, gently spread each scoop into a thin circle with the back of the spoon.
Fry the latkes 2–3 minutes on the first side, until the bottoms are golden brown, then flip and cook 2–3 minutes on the second side until golden and cooked through.
Test the first latke for doneness; if the outside is browning faster than the center is cooking, lower the skillet heat and continue.
Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly spraying the skillet as needed between batches.
Transfer cooked latkes to a plate and serve immediately.
