  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup whole almonds
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 4 large eggs

  16. Sprinkle with tamari almonds and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

  • Russet potatoes produce the crispiest latkes due to their high starch content.
  • Squeeze excess moisture from the potatoes to ensure a crisp texture.
  • Use certified gluten-free flour and tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Sweet potatoes can be substituted for part or all of the potatoes.
  • Store latkes separately from toppings for best results.
  • Reheat latkes in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
