Carrot Latkes image

Shredded carrots lend a subtle sweetness to these otherwise classic potato pancakes. While they're delicious on their own, we've upped the ante with tangy labne and spicy jalapeno relish.

Time 1h

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup potato starch
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound russet potatoes (about 2)
1 medium onion (8 ounces)
1 pound carrots (about 4 large)
2 large eggs, lightly whisked
Safflower oil, for frying
Flaky salt, labne, and jalapeno relish, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together potato starch, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside. Peel potatoes; place in a bowl of cold water. On the large holes of a box grater, grate potatoes, onion, and carrots. Transfer to a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth and set over a large bowl.
  • Gather mixture in cheesecloth and squeeze moisture out into bowl. Let stand until a white paste settles to bottom of bowl, about 2 minutes. Remove sieve; pour liquid out of bowl and discard, leaving behind white paste.
  • Add potato mixture to bowl and sprinkle with baking-powder mixture; toss to coat. Add eggs; stir to combine.
  • Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until hot but not smoking. (Test with a shred of potato; if it sizzles immediately, it's ready). Reduce heat to medium. Working in batches to avoid crowding, scoop a scant 1/4 cup of potato mixture into oil; flatten with a spatula to 1/4 inch thick. Fry, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towels set over a baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Repeat, stirring potato mixture between batches, and adjusting heat as needed while frying. Serve immediately, topped with labne and jalapeno relish.
