Indulge your taste buds in the irresistible delight of our Crispy Garlic-Parsley Potato Latkes – a classic dish infused with a gourmet twist, combining the comforting warmth of golden-brown potatoes with the aromatic allure of garlic and the fresh brightness of parsley. This recipe is not just a humble potato pancake; it’s a culinary symphony that dances on your palate, offering a crispy exterior that gives way to a tender and flavorful interior.

The foundation of these latkes is humble yet crucial – russet potatoes, peeled and grated to achieve the perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness. As you work the grater, the potatoes release their starchy essence, setting the stage for the crispy magic that will unfold in the frying pan.

To elevate these latkes to a realm of gourmet excellence, fresh garlic is finely minced and parsley is chopped with care. These aromatic elements are introduced to the potato mixture, infusing it with a fragrant symphony of flavors that will permeate each bite.

A binding mixture of eggs and flour is incorporated, ensuring that the latkes hold their shape while achieving a delightful crispness. Seasoned with salt and pepper, the mixture becomes a canvas upon which the savory and herbaceous notes will shine.

In a sizzling pan, the magic begins. Spoonfuls of the potato mixture are carefully dropped into hot oil, where they transform into golden discs of perfection. The kitchen is filled with the intoxicating aroma of frying potatoes, promising a delightful crunch that will be the hallmark of these latkes.

As the latkes turn golden brown on the outside, a decadent interior emerges – a blend of tender potatoes with a subtle garlicky essence and a burst of freshness from the parsley. The symphony of flavors and textures is complete as the latkes are lifted from the pan, their exteriors crisped to perfection and their insides soft and comforting.

Serve these Crispy Garlic-Parsley Potato Latkes as an appetizer with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce, or as a delightful side dish to complement a variety of meals. Whether enjoyed during festive celebrations or as a cozy treat on a quiet evening, these latkes are an invitation to relish the simple yet profound pleasure of a perfectly cooked potato pancake. Prepare to be enchanted by the irresistible combination of crispy, garlicky goodness and the comforting warmth of a classic favorite with every delectable bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled (about 2 large potatoes)
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1 bunch), finely chopped, plus more for topping
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp matzo meal
  • Tbsp garlic, minced (from about 3 cloves)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more for topping
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping
  • Sour cream and applesauce, for serving

Directions

  1. Grate onion in the largest holes of a box grater; transfer to a large bowl. Grate potatoes on the largest holes of a box grater onto a clean kitchen towel. Gather the ends of the towel together and wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer grated potatoes to bowl with onion. Stir in parsley, eggs, matzo meal, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper until just combined.

  2. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high until very hot but not smoking. Working in batches, add heaping 1-tablespoon portions of latke mixture; flatten slightly into circles using the back of a spatula. Cook until crisp and browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining latke mixture, adjusting oil and heat as needed.

  3. Top latkes with flaky sea salt, parsley, and pepper. Serve with sour cream and applesauce.
