How to Freeze Latkes

Step One

Remove latkes from hot oil, and transfer to a makeshift 3-layer drying surface: newspaper topped with brown paper bags covered with paper towels. Allow excess oil to drain off. Let latkes cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Step Two

Arrange cooled latkes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze, uncovered, until firm, about 15 minutes.

Step Three

Remove baking sheet from freezer. Transfer latkes to a gallon-size zip-top plastic freezer bag, being careful to keep them from sticking together or breaking apart by placing parchment paper between layers, with 2 to 3 layers total. Seal bag. Write the number of latkes on the outside, and gently place in freezer. Freeze up to 3 months.

Step Four

To reheat, preheat oven as hot as possible, 450°F to 500°F. Place frozen latkes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until hot, 5 to 10 minutes; keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly. Serve immediately.
