PARSNIP LATKES



Parsnip Latkes image

Specially made for Hanukkah, latkes are potato pancakes that are fried in oil in recognition of the ancient lamps that held only enough oil for one day but miraculously burned for eight. Adding parsnips to the classic recipe also celebrates the past, when latkes, a side dish, were made with vegetables, cheeses, or fruits.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 yellow onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater or minced
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds parsnips (about 5 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1/2 pound russet potato (about 1 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine onion, orange zest, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Add eggs, and stir until incorporated. Stir in flour until incorporated. Add parsnips and potato, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
  • Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield About 12 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 MacIntosh or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider
1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 pound parsnips, peeled
Kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more as necessary
Sour cream
1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • For the applesauce: Combine the apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, apple cider, 5-spice powder and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir to combine. Cook until the apples begin to break down but are still chunky, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • For the latkes: Grate the sweet potatoes and parsnips on a box grater and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and toss to combine. Add the flour and stir to distribute evenly. Add the eggs and stir well. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches, form the potato mixture into 3-inch latkes that are about 1/2-inch thick. Add the latkes to the hot oil in a single layer and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat the frying, adding more fat as necessary.
  • Serve the latkes with the applesauce, sour cream and scallions.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large russet (baking) potato (8 to 10 oz)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 medium parsnips (1 lb total), peeled and coarsely grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Accompaniment: applesauce and/or sour cream
Special Equipment
a thin (fine-weave) kitchen towel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Peel potato and coarsely grate into a bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to combine. Place potato on towel, then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Stir potato together with parsnips, flour, eggs, chives, salt, and pepper until combined well.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths full with latke mixture and carefully spoon it into skillet, then flatten to 3 inches in diameter with a slotted spatula. Form 3 more latkes in skillet, then cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain. Keep warm on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven. Make more latkes in same manner, in batches of 4, with remaining mixture.

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:

  • Squeeze the grated potatoes and parsnips to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This will help the latkes to brown more evenly.
  • Add a little onion, garlic, or other seasonings to the potato and parsnip mixture for extra flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the latkes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.
