Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound potatoes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 pound (about 3 medium) carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
6-9 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Plain yogurt, or applesauce (as a condiment)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet.

  • In a large (at least 10-inch) heavy nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture loosely in the pan so it forms a pancake. Repeat to make 3 more pancakes. Press on each lightly with a flat spatula to make a cake about 1/2 inch wide. Cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the cakes over and brown the other side, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pancake mixture, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan with each batch, depending on how much oil is remaining in the pan.

CARROT LATKES



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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

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.

1 large onion
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup all purpose flour

SPICY CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO LATKES



Spicy Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Latkes image

Indian flavors add a new dimension to potato latkes. I love the Indian flavors in these irresistible latkes. The heat comes from the chiles, the spice from the nigella seeds.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     brunch, dinner, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Makes 2 to 2 1/2 dozen, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups, tightly packed, mixed grated carrots and parsnips (about 1 pound)
3 cups grated potatoes (use a starchy potato like Idaho or Yukon gold)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño, minced (seeded if desired)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon nigella seeds
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack over a sheet pan.
  • In a large bowl mix together the carrots and parsnips, potatoes, baking powder, salt and pepper, chiles, cilantro, nigella seeds, chives, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs and stir together.
  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot, take up heaped tablespoons of the latke mixture, press the mixture against the spoon to extract liquid (or squeeze in your hands), and place in the pan. Press down with the back of the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more spoonfuls, being careful not to crowd the pan. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. The mixture will continue to release liquid, which will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. Stir from time to time, and remember to squeeze the heaped tablespoons of the mix before you add them to the pan.
  • Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek yogurt or crème fraiche, or other toppings of your choice such as salsa, chutney or yogurt blended with cilantro, mint, and garlic.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily shred the carrots and potatoes. This will save you time and effort, and ensure that the latkes are evenly cooked.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture from the carrots and potatoes as possible before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the latkes from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the latkes. This will allow you to cook them in batches without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the latkes over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through without burning.
  • Serve the latkes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Carrot and potato latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover carrots and potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these delicious latkes at home.
