Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shred the Yukon Gold potatoes and the small onion together until finely grated.
- Transfer the shredded mixture to a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess liquid.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained mixture with whisked eggs, flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- Heat avocado oil or canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (around 350°F / 175°C).
- Scoop about 1½ to 2 tablespoons of latke mixture into the skillet, flattening them to form pancake shapes.
- Fry each latke for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the latkes from the skillet, draining them on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with optional toppings like sour cream and fresh herbs.

Notes
Maximize crispiness by ensuring to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
