Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled
- 1 large onion, finely chopped or grated
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or matzo meal for Passover)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Tools:
- Arteflame grill
- Grater
- Mixing bowl
- Kitchen towel or cheesecloth

Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes and Onion: Grate the potatoes using a coarse grater, then move to a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the drained potatoes in a large bowl with the chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive batter.
-
Preheat the Arteflame Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to a medium-high heat. Make sure the grilling surface is clean and apply a generous amount of oil to create a non-stick environment.
-
Form and Cook the Latkes: Take a handful of the latke mixture and form it into a flat, round pancake about 1/2 inch thick. Place the latkes on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with a side of apple sauce or sour cream, as desired.
