Oven-Fried Potato Latkes 🥔🧅🥚🕎

Let’s make some Oven-Fried Potato Latkes 🥔🧅🥚🌿🌾

Method 📖
1. Preheat the Oven - Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)
2. Prepare the Potato and Onion - Peel the potato and onion, then coarsely grate them together.
3. Remove Excess Liquid - Place the grated mixture into a tea towel over a bowl. Wring the tea towel firmly to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
4. Mix the Ingredients - Transfer the potato-onion mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Crack and check the egg, then add it to the mixture. Stir in the salt, baking powder, and flour until well combined.
5. Heat the Oil - Pour ½ cup of vegetable oil into an ovenproof dish. Place the dish in the oven for 10 minutes to heat the oil.
6. Shape the Latkes - Carefully remove the hot dish from the oven. Using a spoon, ladle portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil, spacing them apart. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon.
7. Bake the Latkes - Bake the latkes for 14 minutes, then use tongs to flip them over. Bake for another 14 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
8. Drain the Latkes - Remove the latkes from the dish and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
9. Make the Cinnamon Sugar - In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.
10. Coat the Latkes - Take each latke and coat it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
11. Serve and Enjoy - Taste one to enjoy your crispy, sweet latkes! Pack the remaining latkes into a container.

Optional: Serve with homemade applesauce instead of cinnamon sugar.
