Author Notes
These Feta and Spinach Latkes are a perfect unique change to the usual! Using a Mandoline with shredding attachment is a nice way of changing it up this year! You’ll get long, tangled strands of potato this way. Mix it with lots of crumbled feta & spinach to give it that Spanakopita taste. Serving it with Tzaziki made with sour cream is the perfect accompaniment! Happy Hanukkah! —Danielle Oron
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds
Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes, peeled
-
1/2
large yellow onion, grated and excess water squeezed out
-
1 cup
crumbled feta cheese
-
9 ounces
package frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
-
1 1/2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
-
1
large egg
-
1 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
fresh black pepper
-
canola oil, for frying
-
flakey sea salt
-
tzatziki or sour cream, to serve
Directions
-
Using the fine shred attachment on a Mandoline, shred the peeled potatoes. The thinner the better! Alternatively, you can shred them on a box grater.
-
Pre-heat oven to 200˚F. Place a cooling rack onto a baking sheet.
-
Combine the shredded potatoes, grated onion, feta cheese, spinach, flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl and combine with the potato mixture.
-
Heat a large skillet with 1/3” of oil over medium-low heat.
-
Fry the latkes by measuring out a ¼ cup of mix and squeezing out all the liquid and placing them in the hot oil. Flatten out a bit like a pancake.
-
Fry for 2 ½ – 3 minutes per side in batches making sure not to crowd the pan. (Add more oil if needed between batches.)
-
Remove the latkes from the oil and transfer to the cooling rack. Sprinkle with Maldon or flaky sea salt and keep warm in the pre-heated oven until ready to serve.
-
Serve with the tzatziki sauce (or sour cream) on the side.
