Ingredients
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes and onion. Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, chili pepper powder, and chipotle powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties.
Fry the latkes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the latkes hot with a side of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tip
For the best results, make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and onion. This will help the latkes stay crispy and hold together better during frying.
Side Dish Suggestion
A great side dish to pair with Spicy Smoky Latkes is a fresh and tangy coleslaw. The crispness and acidity of the coleslaw will complement the rich and spicy flavors of the latkes, providing a refreshing contrast.
