A delightful appetizer or snack that brings together classic comfort food and game-day favorites in just 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Latkes

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Blue Cheese Dip

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes and Onion: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Grate the small onion as well. Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crisp latkes.
  2. Mix Latke Batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, eggs, lemon juice, all-purpose flour, black pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
  4. Fry Latkes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter per latke and carefully place them into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  5. Drain Latkes: Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  6. Prepare Blue Cheese Dip: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and crumbled blue cheese. Stir well until you reach a creamy consistency with chunks of blue cheese throughout.
  7. Serve: Serve the warm buffalo latkes with the blue cheese dip on the side for an irresistible combination of spicy and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • For extra crispy latkes, ensure you squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes and onion as possible.
  • You can adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce to make the latkes more or less spicy according to your preference.
  • If you prefer a thinner dip, add a little sour cream or milk to the blue cheese dip to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture as latkes tend to lose crispness over time.
