Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (2 minutes)

02

Step

Place the grated potatoes on a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy latkes. Transfer the drained potatoes to a mixing bowl. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Add the eggs, sliced onion, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. (1 minute)

05

Step

Drop approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the air fryer basket for each latke, spacing them evenly. Gently flatten each portion with the back of a spoon or spatula. Spray the tops of the latkes with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Air fry until the latkes are crispy and golden brown, about 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully remove the latkes from the air fryer and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra crispy latkes, consider using a mandoline to grate the potatoes into thin, even shreds.
Experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika to customize the flavor of your latkes.
Serve these air fryer latkes with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, applesauce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
If you don't have an air fryer, you can also pan-fry these latkes in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
