Yield Makes about 16 latkes

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.

I couldn't find parsnips at my local grocery store, so I used carrots instead. The latkes still turned out great.

The latkes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

These latkes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the latkes turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I made these latkes for my family for Hanukkah and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them, even my picky kids.

These latkes were a bit more work to make than traditional potato latkes, but they were definitely worth the effort. The parsnips added a nice sweetness and depth of flavor.

These potato parsnip latkes were a hit at my Hanukkah party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of flavors. I especially loved the addition of parsnips, which gave them a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.
