Recipe View 8 mins Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, carefully place the latkes in the hot oil. Fry until the edges are golden brown and the bottoms are crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to flip the latkes and continue frying until the second side is golden brown and crisp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes more. (Cook time per batch: 5-8 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the latke mixture.
If the latke mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serve these latkes with a dollop of sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
These latkes are best served immediately while they are still crispy. However, you can keep them warm in a low oven (200 degrees F) for up to 30 minutes.
