These are great! Maybe now there will be less passive aggressive notes on fridges at work...but how will we pass the time?!

Tis the Season for Oven Baked Latkas!

AND steaks! OK. No, it's not the season anymore. It's past the season! But really, people SHOULD have oven baked latkas ALL season long because latkas are delectable and can be low fat too! I made the latkas this way because I wanted a healthy but still tasty version of the traditional fried latkas.
Here is my recipe for OVEN BAKED LATKAS:
5 medium potatoes
1 medium onion
3 tbs flour
1 splash of beer
1 tbs salt
1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil

Grate your potatoes into ice water.
Remove potatoes out of the ice water into a sieve in a seperate bowl, squeezing excess water out of potatoes.
Let the remaining water drain out. Dump water.

Let the potato starch settle at the bottom of the ice water for 10 mins.
Drain water, leaving starch at bottom. Add the starch into the potato bowl.
Slice onion into thin slices.
Add onions to the potatoes.
Add flour, add salt, add pepper, add beer.
Mix.

Preheat oven to 350°
Heat cast iron pan on stove top for 3 mins, medium high heat.
Add butter and olive oil.
Put the mixture in the pan, pat down flat with a spatula.
Let it cook for 3-5 mins.
Put pan in oven for 25 mins.
Take out and flip latka and put back in the oven for another 5 mins.

Slice and serve.
Latka-licious!
