Instructions
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400 F and the oven to 200 F with a rack and baking sheet ready.
-
Scrub and grate potatoes, optionally chopping them into smaller pieces.
-
Grate or chop the onion, then combine with potatoes in a colander and rinse with cold water.
-
Squeeze the potato-onion mixture firmly using cheesecloth to remove liquid; transfer solids to a large bowl.
-
Allow the collected liquid to settle, then discard most of it, retaining the potato starch at the bottom.
-
Whisk eggs, matzo meal, salt, pepper, and reserved potato starch together.
-
Combine the egg mixture with the potato and onion shreds.
-
Grease the air fryer basket with olive oil. Dollop 1/4-cup portions of latke mixture, shape as desired, season with salt, and brush with olive oil.
-
Air fry for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 more minutes until golden brown and crisp.
-
Transfer cooked latkes to the warm oven. Regrease the air fryer and repeat cooking for remaining batter.
-
Serve hot with desired accompaniments.
