LATKES

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
1 large yellow onion
Kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Freshly ground pepper
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Shred the potatoes and onion in a food processor or with a grater or mandoline. Place in a strainer that has been lined with cheesecloth or a damp kitchen towel. Toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt and let sit over a bowl to drain for 30 minutes.
  • Gather the top of the cheesecloth and use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. Transfer the vegetables to a clean bowl; mix in the eggs, lemon juice, flour and some pepper.
  • Heat 1/4 inch canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, fry loosely packed rounded tablespoons of the potato mixture until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan and adjust the temperature as needed. Transfer to a paper towel?lined plate, season with salt and set aside.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated
½ onion, grated
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil, or more if needed
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup applesauce
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.
