I love potato latkes. I usually use this recipe but I wanted to mix it up a bit. Honestly, they were pretty good but not better. The spinach and feta flavor was not as prominent as I had hoped. Maybe I will do a little tweaking of the recipe and try it again. What do you think? Any suggestions? On the plus side, they are very pretty!
Spinach, Feta, and Potato Latkes (recipe from here)
- 1 pound russet potatoes
- 1/3 cup onion, minced
- 4 green onions, just the green parts, diced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Peel and grate the potatoes. In a brown or other dark kitchen towel (potato juice stains), add the grated potatoes. Wring the potatoes out, removing as much liquid as possible. In a bowl, combine the potatoes with the onion, green onions, eggs, dill, feta, spinach, salt, pepper and flour.
Preheat oil in an iron skillet until hot. Form the potato mixture into a patty shape and add to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels to remove extra oil. Keep warm in a preheated oven. Serve with tzatziki or katsup.
Well aren’t you fancy! This looks divine!
Thanks for stopping by!!! They need a bit of work but they have potential.
Very nice, Anna! I’ve got some CSA spinach in my refrigerator. Not quite enough to do a full dish of by itself. That’s a great idea.
Did you make these? I wish I has a bigger garden. I tried to grow spinach but there wasn’t nearly enough. I only got enough for three recipes, including these.
Sadly, I let my little bit of spinach go bad and had to feed it to the chickens. You’re right, though. One would have to have a gigantic garden to grow enough spinach!
I always wonder about that when I am at the store. Can you imagine the industrial spinach fields?!
Looks SOOOOO yummy! Great pic.
Thank you! I was very pleased with the photo!
this looks insanely good.
Thank you! Next time I will add more onion and feta.
Those are amazing looking. Very nice shot!
Thanks Greg! I am pleased with how well my photography skills are progressing.
