Apple and Potato Latkes

1. Grate the potatoes, apples, and onion using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor.
2. Place the mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is key for crispy latkes.
3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the eggs.
4. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until combined.
5. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture for each latke, flattening gently with a spatula.
7. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy.
8. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with a little extra salt while hot.

Optional Toppings:

1. Sour cream
2. Unsweetened applesauce
3. Chopped chives
4. Fresh Parsley
5. Maple Syrup
