Potato Latkes with Caramelized Onion Sour Cream

These Potato Latkes with Caramelized Onion Sour Cream are one of my favorite easy Hanukkah appetizer recipes and I am so happy to share this recipe with you today. Who doesn’t love a latke? Golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These are improved by adding caramelized onion sour cream and chopped scallions when serving.

To make these, start by caramelizing onions with sugar and combining them with sour cream for the topping. Shred potato, onion, and garlic and sprinkle with salt. Leave to drain in a colander lined with cheesecloth. Once drained, combine with bread crumbs, lemon juice, eggs and season with black pepper and mix in the scallions. Cook in batches in hot oil until golden brown on each side. Serve the latkes warm with caramelized onion sour cream and sprinkled with chopped scallions.

To make my Potato Latkes with Caramelized Onion Sour Cream, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Potato Latkes with Caramelized Onion Sour Cream

1	Caramelize onions	40
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion, ½ a teaspoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
2	Add garlic	2
Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
3	Combine onion mixture with sour cream	2
Once cool, mix the caramelized onion mixture with 1 cup of sour cream, ½ a teaspoon of onion powder, a few grinds of black pepper and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.
4	Shred potato, onion and garlic	10
Shred 2½ pounds of potatoes, 2 onions and 4 cloves of garlic using a food processor or mandoline.
5	Drain moisture from potato mixture	45
Place 2 layers of cheesecloth in a colander. Set the colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the shredded potato mixture to the cheesecloth. Sprinkle the mixture with 1½ teaspoons of kosher salt. Leave to drain for 30-45 minutes. Once drained, bring the edges of the cheesecloth together and squeeze out any excess moisture using your hands.
6	Add eggs, salt, baking powder and flour	5
In a separate large bowl, mix ⅔ cup of bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 4 large eggs, and a few grinds of black pepper with the potato mixture. Stir in 4 chopped scallions.
7	Heat oil	5
Place ¼ inch of oil in the bottom of a skillet. Check that the oil is hot enough by dropping a sliver of potato in. It should start to sizzle immediately.
8	Cook latkes in oil	2
Using a ½ cup ice cream scoop, add compact scoops of the latke mixture to the oil. Space the latkes out so the skillet is not crowded. Press the latkes down with a spatula to get ½-inch thick patties.
9	Drain	6
When the latkes are golden brown on each side, transfer to a wire rack or paper towels. Sprinkle with flaky or kosher salt.
10	Cook remaining latke mixture	20
Repeat until you have used up all the remaining mixture. Add more oil to the pan as required between batches.
11	Serve	1
Serve as a Hanukkah appetizer with the caramelized onion sour cream and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
