Oven Baked Potato Pancakes (Latkes)

Grate the onion and potatoes through the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Stir in the egg, cheese, scallions, oil, salt, pepper and flour. When fully mixed, pour the mixture into a colander set over a second bowl and press down on the mixture with the back of a large spoon. Press out as much of the liquid as you can.

Spray a large, 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and divide the potato mixture evenly into each cup. Bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are golden brown but not burned. Remove from the oven and let rest in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before removing.

Serve warm with sour cream, if desired. Makes 2 servings but recipe can be doubled for a 12-cup muffin tin.
