Air fryer cheese latkes are a modern twist on a classic dish.

Whether you’re looking for a tasty snack or a hearty side dish, these latkes are sure to satisfy your cravings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This helps the latkes to be crispy.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, shredded mozzarella cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix again.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form it into a flat patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the latkes in batches.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the latkes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it.
- Spray the tops of the latkes lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Air fry the latkes at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- Carefully flip the latkes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown on both sides.
- Once the latkes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm with optional sour cream and a sprinkle of chives if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to ensure crispy latkes.
- Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes before cooking to achieve even cooking and a better texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the latkes in batches if necessary to ensure they cook evenly.
- Turn the latkes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up evenly on both sides.
- Serve the latkes immediately for the best taste and texture, ideally with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce.
