Ingredients

    1 lb (500 g) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

    ½ lb (250 g) yellow onion, peeled and quartered

    ½ cup (125 mL) whole red lentils, cooked

    2 large eggs

    ½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour

    2 tsp (10 mL) kosher salt

    1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder

    1 tsp (5 mL) cayenne

    1 tsp (5 mL) black pepper, freshly ground

    canola oil, as needed for frying

    Optional toppings: large flake finishing salt, peach jam, greek yogurt and cucumber, smoked salmon and dill


Directions

  1. In a food processor fitted with the grating disc, grate potatoes, onions, and lentils.
  2. Transfer mix to a bowl and squeeze out the liquid.
  3. To a clean bowl, add potato mixture, eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, cayenne, and pepper and mix until flour is absorbed.
  4. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat ¼ inch of oil. Once oil has reached 350⁰F (180⁰C), use a teaspoon to shape and drop the batter into the hot pan. Use a spatula to flatten the latke into disks.
  5. When the edges begin to color, flip and cook for 5 additional minutes. Transfer cooked latke to a wire rack with paper towel to drain.
  6. Enjoy warm with optional toppings.
