Sheet Pan Latkes

Sheet Pan Latkes

By Mandy Tanner

These potato pancakes, traditionally served during Hanukkah, are delicious any time of the year, and making them on an oiled sheet pan on the Traeger is easier than frying. Serve them as a starter with a dollop of applesauce or sour cream (with sliced chives if you like) or with smoked salmon and even caviar. They also work as a side dish for all kinds of hearty fare, from braised brisket to roast chicken.

Steps

  • 1

    Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 425°F; this will take at least 15 minutes.

  • 2

    In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Set aside.

  • 3

    Beat the two eggs in a medium bowl.

  • 4

    Grate the potatoes and onion using the shredding disc of a food processor or using the holes of a box grater. Transfer the potatoes and onion to a clean kitchen towel. Gather up the four corners of the towel and twist and squeeze it firmly over a bowl or the sink to remove as much moisture as possible. (Alternatively, use a salad spinner to remove the excess liquid.)

  • 5

    Transfer the potatoes and onion to the bowl with the eggs and stir well to combine. Add the reserved flour mixture and stir well to combine.

  • 6

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or spray it lightly with the oil. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or a 2-oz portion scoop, place 13 to 14 portions of the potato mixture onto the oiled baking sheet with room between. Press each portion into a 3-inch round about 1-inch thick. Brush or spray the tops with more oil.

  • 7

    Place the baking sheet directly on the grill grates, close the lid and cook until the latkes are golden brown on one side and have started to set, 15 to 25 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and the latke is cooked through, about another 15 minutes.

    425 ˚F / 218 ˚C

    Serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream if you like. Enjoy!
