Crispy Herb Potato Latkes

Print Recipe

Golden-brown and irresistibly crisp on the outside, tender and savory inside — these classic potato latkes are laced with fresh herbs and perfect for dipping or enjoying as a hearty side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate potatoes and onion using a box grater or food processor. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, mix grated potato and onion with eggs, flour, herbs, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per latke, flatten slightly, and carefully drop into hot oil.
  5. Fry 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Transfer latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or herbed yogurt dip.

Notes

  • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from grated potatoes to ensure crispiness.
  • Latkes can be kept warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while frying the rest.
  • They also freeze well — reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
