For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the potato mixture. If you don't have Cajun seasoning on hand, you can create your own blend by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and black pepper. To keep the latkes warm while you finish cooking the remaining batches, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).

Follow The Directions
01
StepFirst, banish excess moisture! Wrap the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring vigorously to extract as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy latkes. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, shredded onion, chopped green onion, beaten eggs, flour, and Cajun seasoning. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Adjust the amount of flour as needed to achieve a consistency that holds together when formed into patties. (5 minutes)
03
StepPour canola oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, ensuring it's about 1/3 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it's ready for frying. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully drop approximately 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Gently flatten each mound to create patties about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain optimal frying temperature. (2 minutes)
05
StepFry the latkes until golden brown and irresistibly crisp on the bottom, approximately 5 minutes per side. Flip gently and continue cooking until the other side is equally golden and crispy. (10 minutes)
06
StepRemove the cooked latkes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (2 minutes)
07
StepServe immediately while hot and crispy. These Cajun Potato Latkes are fantastic on their own or with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, apple sauce, or a dollop of Creole-inspired remoulade.
