- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup canola oil

- Drizzle the oil on to the pre-heated griddle insert.
- Scoop ¼ cup of the mixture onto griddle top. Flatten with your spatula to a 4-inch patty.
- Repeat until the pan is full but the latkes aren't crowded.
- Cook until deeply golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat if necessary.
- Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain for 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with sour cream and homemade apple sauce.
