ROOT VEGETABLE LATKES



Root Vegetable Latkes image

We've spruced up traditional latkes by incorporating a few readily available root vegetables to lend dimension-and color-to the classic recipe. The vegetables can be shredded in a food processor or by hand using a box grater.

Time 1h30m

Yield about 2 dozen latkes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
3 small parsnips
2 medium beets
2 large carrots
2 large onions
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (from 3 to 4 sprigs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and shred them in a food processer fitted with the shredding blade. Transfer to a large mixing bowl as the food processor bowl fills up. Repeat the process with the parsnips, beets, carrots and onions. Toss the vegetables together with your hands to break up and evenly disperse. Add the flour, eggs, baking powder, thyme and stir to combine. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture in the oil; if it sizzles steadily, the oil is ready.
  • Working in batches, scoop the vegetable mixture by 1/4 cupfuls and add it carefully to the skillet, flattening each mound slightly with a spatula. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Be sure to return the oil to temperature between batches or lower the heat it the latkes are browning too quickly on the first side. Drain on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200-degree F oven. Serve with the sour cream.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pint grape tomatoes
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/4 inch slices
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 ear fresh sweet corn, kernels cut from the cob
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package block feta cheese
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
½ medium lemon
¼ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon grated Pecorino Romano cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine grape tomatoes, asparagus, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, and corn kernels in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all vegetables. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper flakes as well as a hit of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and make a well in the center of the dish. Place feta blocks in the well and drizzle with more olive oil. Season feta with salt, pepper, and a pinch of pepper flakes. Nestle thyme sprigs into the veggies around the dish.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft and feta is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
  • When the vegetables and feta have cooked for 25 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Set aside.
  • When the vegetables and feta are finished cooking, turn the broiler to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and broil vegetables for 1 minute for some final browning.
  • Squeeze lemon over vegetables and feta and stir in fresh parsley. Stir in rigatoni and reserved pasta water to help feta coat pasta evenly. Season with salt and pepper as needed and sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.

Yield Makes 28

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 carrots (5 1/2 ounces)
2 parsnips (11 1/2 ounces)
1 Idaho potato (1 pound)
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and light-green parts only
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and place it on the center rack of the oven. Peel the carrots, parsnips, and potato, and grate them on the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated vegetables on a clean kitchen towel, fold it around them, and squeeze tightly to remove all excess moisture. Transfer the grated vegetables to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced scallions, flour, and salt and pepper, and toss to combine well. Add the lightly beaten eggs, and mix well.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Make a few latkes at a time; for each, shape 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and place in the skillet. Cook 2 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. Transfer cooked latkes to prepared baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and latke mixture.
  • Serve the latkes warm with dollops of sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste.
