Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes 2-3 large or 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with a paper towel.
  • Using a food processor fitted with the shredding disc, or a box grater on the largest hole, grate the potatoes. Place on a clean kitchen towel and wring out all excess moisture.
  • Transfer the wrung-out potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Add the garlic powder, basil, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
  • Meanwhile, heat ½ inch oil in a large, tall-sided skillet over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, add a small piece of potato to the pan, it should bubble and sizzle immediately.
  • Use a ¼ cup measure to scoop the latke mixture into the pan, flattening with a spoon or spatula. Add 4-5 latkes at a time, to ensure the oil does not drop in temperature.
  • Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the latkes to the lined baking tray. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
  • Top each latke with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Enjoy!
