The Crunchiest Homemade Latkes (3 Ways)

"I'm gonna get yelled at" yeah probably that's how we do....but my grandpa used to put jamaican jerk chicken seasoning on his with mango chutney so can't yell

Too many online recipes, have young, very strong men squeezing the potatoes. I am not young, I am not strong I am not a man. Is there a solution for me?

Panko? What about Matza Meal? Matza Meal is more traditional.

Latkes, if made properly, are insane, but they tend to not be that healthy due to being deep fried.

No sugar needed for apple sauce-but I do love your recipes

Well you got that onion so skinny I thought it was seaweed salad I truly hope you get to go to culinary school and become a famous chef.

Latke perfection. In our house we use blitzed up matzoh instead of panko but I’ll try that next time!

i haven't made latkes since i was 12 so about 8 years ago when i had a homemade fried food phase. last time i made these i used some as hamburger buns (10/10 great combo btw) so yes, they are a very versatile food that goes great with anything. i'm not jewish but latkes are easily one of my favorite snacks to make

iraqi jew reporting in to give the 'fourth way' latke: the iraqi latke made with mashed potato: aruq. You bake the potatoes (so the mixture isn't too wet) mash it, and then add the rest of the latke ingredients (grated onion, egg, spices to taste, and parsley [not optional]). Its awesome. We eat it on pita, by itself, with amba (mango sauce) or tahin.

I'm sure it's not coincidence, but I low-key thought the thumbnail resembled a Binging with Babish thumbnail lol

I may end up making these more often

After a $$$$ plumber came to clear my oh so crazyyyy clogged drain of the potato starch --- I never ever put Latke Juice there!! I pour it outside!!! Worth the walk!!

Shred the potatoes longway instead of shortway and then make "tangles" as you drop them into the pot. Your latkes look super dense and it's because of all the panko and grating them shortway and mashing them into patties first.

I like a chunkier apple sauce. Just chuck the apples into the Instant Pot with cinnamon and lemon juice for five min and then mash them up with a potato masher. This is the way.

« …for all you people who like to complain ». 🤣

Lovely. A little on the thick side to my taste but still lovely:)

I made the apple sauce part of this recipe tonight, but used too much water. When I dumped the whole contents of the pot into the blender and hit high, the top flew off and sprayed the kitchen with what was supposed to be applesauce. However, since it was obviously never going to coagulate with all that water in it, we added rum and drank it hot. It was real good. I hadn't made the latkes yet, anyway.

I know this video is a year old, but I have to comment anyway. Made these with grilled brats, sauerkraut and a drizzle of horseradish cream and smear of stone ground mustard. My Oktoberfest this year is going to hit different. Thank you Papa.

Speaking of Oktoberfest, Josh, I would love it if you could please do some episodes in October on classic German food faves - schnitzel, sauerbraten, sauerkraut, rotkohl, spaetzle, German potato salad, brats and a good homemade roll for them, maybe a couple mustards, pretzels and beer cheese. Oh and especially….schweinshaxe!!!

I like how josh broke the rules with the first one that he called traditional more than the one he was freaking out about

Usually instead of bread crumbs I just use all purpose flour or mazto meal

Im trying this tomorrow

Made the smoked salmon ones on Sat. My guests said they were the best they EVER had

HOLY SHIT

Nice recipe, however I would grate everything you mentioned through a food processor as faster and less painful. Then drain :) I would also add a bit of cornstarch which is more traditional and airfry.

this is just Aloo Tikki in India..

Hashbrown?

how the sweet hell do you make quenelle look so easy?!

What is a neutral tasting oil?

Ok, this answers the question of: is Joshua Jewish. There ain't no way in hell this boy is a Jew making Latke like this...LOL

Mama wants to remind you that you did forget to try the finished and dressed kimchi latka. Was looking forward to the what it would take like with the spicy mayo and dressing. Just watched today and am going to make this soon!

As a half Wisconsinite the way you pronounced it made me cringe. They’re pronounced “L-ah-keys”.

It's not pronounced kwen-ell, it's pronounced ken-elle

And this is why our family keeps Chicken fat or schmaltz as it's properly called

Instead of just potatoes mix half potatoes and half sweet potatoes, thank me later.

Help! I grew up in welfare Australia with cheap ass table salt. WTF is kosher salt?

In Russia we call them "Draniki". And usually we eat them just by itself, maybe with some sour cream. TBH many people here now using mayo instead of... anything, so they use mayo here too.

In india we simply call it tikki

I had this video playing in the background while I was driving and when those Sirens turned on they scared me so bad.

I made these this morning! Tried the sour cream and applesauce, not to fond of the sour but they taste amazing with ketchup! Lol

Lanka with poached egg and black pudding…surely dying to be the best breakfast 🍳

Wait...is Josh giving out medals?

The home made apple sauce was flawless.

I struggled a bit with forming the latkes. They ended up coming out amazing. But I had to be so careful working with them because they were still pretty wet and falling apart. I tried adding some more panko but to no avail. I didn't want to add too much more and risk screwing up the recipe.

Is it normal for them to fall apart and still be wet? Is the solution more panko? Or maybe chill before frying.

Lmbo!! Hey hey! I like big juicy lmbo

My family has always used a food processor instead of grating and we use flour instead of the panko. So delishhh

Ok did I miss it or was there no seasoning in the batter?

MOZEL TOV

If you want to be traditional, use matzoh meal instead of panko.

I made this, and never have before BUT I used sweet potatoes instead and I can’t wait to try regular potatoes they are amazing🤩
