Steps:

• Place oven racks on the lowest and middle positions in your oven.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Spray each baking sheet lightly with non-stick spray, then brush each baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of oil (This provides a crispy exterior to the latke).
• Peel potatoes or scrub them well if you don't want to peel them.
• Grate potatoes.
• Transfer them to another bowl.
• Use the processor to finely mince onion, garlic and dill.
• Add potatoes, egg, egg whites and remaining 2 teaspoon of oil to the processor.
• Mix using quick on/off turns.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix briefly.
• If overprocessed, potatoes will be too fine.
• Drop mixture by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
• Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon to form latkas.
• Bake uncovered at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until bottoms are nicely browned and crispy.
• Turn latkes over.
• Transfer pan from the upper rack to the lower rack and vice versa.
• Bake about 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until brown.
• Best when served immediately.

POTATO LATKES I

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.
• In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.
• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot!

POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in upper third.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate into a bowl using large teardrop-shaped holes of a box grater or in a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk. Add lemon juice and toss to coat.
• Coarsely grate onion into same bowl. Transfer to a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Wipe bowl clean, then return potatoes and onion to bowl and stir in flour, eggs, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt until just combined.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure halfway with latke mixture and carefully spoon it into skillet, then flatten to 3 inches in diameter with a slotted spatula.
• Form 5 more latkes in skillet and fry until undersides are deep golden, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. (If latkes brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium.) Turn over and fry until deep golden all over, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, then transfer to a metal rack set in a baking pan and keep warm in oven. Make more latkes.
