These traditional Jewish latkes are prepared in a modern way using an air fryer for a lighter, crispier result. With a simple base of grated potato, onion, egg, and breadcrumbs, they cook quickly to a perfect golden brown. Ideal as a side dish or a light dinner, they are traditionally served with cool sour cream or sweet apple sauce. The whole process takes around 20 minutes from start to finish.
