The classic latke gets an update with chopped kale, chives and dill.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield about 12 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped stemmed kale
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup all-purpose flour or matzo meal
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil or rendered chicken or duck fat, for frying
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater and transfer to a large colander set over a bowl. Grate the onion and add to the colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Firmly squeeze the mixture with your hands to extract as much liquid as possible; blot dry on paper towels if especially wet. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the kale, chives and dill and toss to combine. Add the flour and egg and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Working with 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, form tightly packed pancakes about 2 inches wide and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the pancakes until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and put in the oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.
  • Serve with sour cream.

LEEK, KALE AND POTATO LATKES



Leek, Kale and Potato Latkes image

These delicious cumin-scented potato pancakes are laced with leeks and crispy kale, adding a putatively healthy touch to the standard fried latke. You can serve them with Greek yogurt, sour cream or crème fraîche. But a chutney or yogurt blended with cilantro, mint and garlic would make for excellent eating as well. You might even try a salsa.

Time 30m

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

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups, tightly packed, grated potatoes (use a starchy potato like Idaho or Yukon gold)
2 large leeks, halved lengthwise, cleaned and sliced very thin
1/2 pound kale, stemmed, washed, dried and finely chopped or cut in thin slivers (about 3 cups, tightly packed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and coarsely ground
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. Meanwhile, place a rack over a sheet pan.
  • In a large bowl mix together the potatoes, leeks, kale, baking powder, salt and pepper, cumin, chives, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs 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:

  • For crispy latkes, use a combination of grated and shredded potatoes. The grated potatoes will provide a crispy exterior, while the shredded potatoes will help to bind the latkes together.
  • Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the grated potatoes before cooking. This will help to prevent the latkes from being soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the latkes. This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
  • Cook the latkes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the latkes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Leek, kale, and potato latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your latkes are crispy, flavorful, and perfect every time.
