For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the potato mixture. Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly drained to prevent soggy latkes. If you don't have avocado oil spray, any neutral cooking oil spray will work well. Latkes are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for optimal crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Prepare a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the thawed potatoes and shredded onion on several layers of paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and press firmly to extract as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving optimal crispness. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the egg, salt, and pepper. Add the drained potatoes and onion, gently mixing with a fork. Sprinkle the matzo meal over the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated. (5 minutes)
04
StepUsing your hands, form the potato mixture into ten 3- to 4-inch wide patties. Place the patties on the prepared parchment or waxed paper. (10 minutes)
05
StepLightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil cooking spray. Carefully arrange half of the patties in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Generously spray the tops of the latkes with more cooking spray. (2 minutes)
06
StepAir fry for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the latkes are crispy and a deep golden brown. For a softer interior, check for doneness around 8 minutes. Remove the cooked latkes to a plate. (12 minutes)
07
StepRepeat the process with the remaining patties, spraying them with cooking spray before air frying. (15 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately with a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of applesauce, if desired.
