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.
