MINI LATKES
-
In a frying pan, add 1 inch of canola or other vegetable-based oil. Use enough oil to ensure latkes will be fully submerged. Do not use olive or nut-based oil, as that will change the latke flavor.
-
Heat oil to around 350 degrees before adding latkes
- Fry latkes for 30-60 seconds until desired crispiness, then pat dry with a paper towl & serve!
Alternatively, latkes can be baked in oven at 500 deg for 12 mins, but may not come out as crispy as frying method.
Note we do NOT recommend microwaving mini latkes.
