Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet.
- Peel potatoes and coarsely grate into a colander. Mix in lemon juice and drain for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, stir together the carrots and egg. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper.
- 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.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes to cook the pancakes through. Drain briefly on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve while hot, with yogurt and/or applesauce.

CARROT LATKES
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.

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.

SPICY CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO LATKES
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.

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 russet potatoes for the best results. They have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for latkes.
- Grate the potatoes and carrots finely. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Squeeze out as much of the excess moisture from the grated potatoes and carrots as possible. This will help the latkes to be crispy.

- Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the latkes. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the latkes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the latkes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the latkes on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the latkes with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or smoked salmon.
