Sheet Pan Latke Board with Winter Fruit & Veggies
Incredibly delicious and could not be any prettier.
Welcome to the easiest way to create the most stunning latkes! This recipe, created by Adeena Sussman, transforms traditional latkes into a single giant sheet pan version. Simply cut this glorious potato pancake into segments and top with your favorite sweet or savory toppings. It’s as versatile as it is photogenic.
For this version, I’m featuring a mix of winter veggies and fruits, including turmeric-pickled carrots as a twist on sauerkraut, a zingy kale, herb, and garlic sauce, a beet and horseradish sauce, and some classic sour cream paired with fruit like apples and pomegranate for a sweet touch.

Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Oven: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 450°F.
Step 2
Grate the Potatoes and Onions: Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the potatoes and onions into a large bowl.
Step 3
Squeeze Out Excess Liquid: Using both hands, squeeze out and discard as much liquid as possible from the grated mixture. Transfer the grated potatoes and onions to a second bowl.
Step 4
Heat the Oil: Add the oil to a quarter-sheet pan (or a 9x13-inch glass or metal baking dish). Place the pan in the oven and heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 5
Prepare the Latke Batter: During the last 2 minutes of heating the oil, stir the eggs, salt, pepper, and potato starch into the potato-onion mixture until evenly combined.
Step 6
Spread the Batter: Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Quickly pour and spread the latke batter evenly across the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to distribute any excess oil over the top of the batter.
Step 7
Bake the Latkes: Bake until the latkes are deep golden brown and crisp, about 23 to 25 minutes (or longer if needed).
Step 8
Serve: Cut the baked latkes into squares and top with your favorite toppings before serving.
