MASHED POTATO LATKES WITH DILL AND SHALLOTS

Mashed Potato Latkes With Dill and Shallots image

Latkes from grated potatoes are traditional and crispy. But I like this baked potato version because the flavor of the potatoes shines through, punched up with the pronounced seasoning of dill and parsley. Featured in: On Hanukkah, The Latke Road Less Traveled.

Ingredients
3 large baking potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
1 cup minced shallots
1/2 cup coconut or vegetable oil
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill

1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs, more as needed
Nutritional Information

Step 2Peel potatoes, cut in several pieces and put in a medium bowl; use a potato masher or ricer to break them up. Mix in egg, shallots and herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
Step 3Taking about 1/2 cup of filling at a time, form 10 patties about 1/4-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Pour bread crumbs into a wide bowl or plate, and coat the latkes in the crumbs on both sides.

Although these came out a little lighter and less oily than traditional latkes, I guess I'm still a slave to tradition. The shallots don't provide as much punch as onions fried with the potato shreds. And the mashed potato latkes need to be handled c

I found them a little bland. Nice and crunchy with the breading and light with the baked potato filling. Needs something to take it up a little however.

After baking the potatoes, then peel them? Can the lakes be made with skin on potatoes? What sauce is on the side in the photo? Sour cream and?

All the varieties of latkes are delicious and worth making. But Chanukah latkes are unique because they bring the added seasoning of tradition. I will make the others in March or some other month.

For a vegan latke, what can you use to bind the potatoes in place of the egg? The usual go-to is flaxseed meal mixed with water, but I'm not sure that would work for latkes. Any suggestions?

When I make regular Latkes, I just add organic safflower oil to the potatoes. Just enough to hold everything together. They come out wonderful.

Crisco brand is out with organic coconut oil.
It is packaged in a squat 27oz plastic "bottle".

I see a couple of sauces on the side. Having never had a Latke (oh, the horror) I have no idea what might be complementary with it.

Applesauce (I make my own without peeling, adding cinnamon, fresh grated nutmeg, sugar depending on the sweetness of the apples).

Although we always bake them, the mashed potato latke (mashed potatoes, egg, sauteed onions, etc.) is a staple in our family. My mother-in-law called them "bilkies". (Anyone know the derivation of that?) But this year I'll fry them to add the all-imp

Properly called "bulkas", they are usually sweet yeast buns or loaves popular in eastern Europe. Sometimes savory too in certain Jewish traditions. Ess git.

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees, pierce potatoes with a fork and place directly on rack.Bake for 1 hour or until a knife easily pierces potatoes. Meanwhile, sauté shallots in 1 tablespoon or so of coconut oil until tender. Add dill and parsley and set aside.
Peel potatoes, cut in several pieces and put in a medium bowl; use a potato masher or ricer to break them up. Mix in egg, shallots and herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
Taking about 1/2 cup of filling at a time, form 10 patties about 1/4-inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Pour bread crumbs into a wide bowl or plate, and coat the latkes in the crumbs on both sides.
Heat a nonstick frying pan and add a thin film of oil, about 1/8-inch deep.When hot, slide in pancakes and cook over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes on one side, pressing down to gently flatten. Flip latkes and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until crisp and deeply golden. You can make them in advance, placing parchment paper between each layer of patties and reheating in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
