Time 30m

Yield about 12 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound russet potatoes, peeled
1/2 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
1 small onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup all-purpose flour or matzo meal
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil or rendered chicken or duck fat, for frying
Applesauce, prepared horseradish and/or sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Grate the russet potatoes and sweet 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 bowl. Mix in the chives. Add the flour and egg and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Using 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, form tightly packed pancakes about 2 inches wide and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the pancakes in batches until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet in the oven while cooking the remaining pancakes.
  • Serve with applesauce, prepared horseradish and/or sour cream.

SWEET-POTATO LATKES

An easy Sweet-Potato Latkes recipe

Categories     Potato     Appetizer     Side     Fry     Hanukkah     Winter     Kosher     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes about 26 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, spoon 1/8 cup potato mixture per latke into oil and flatten to 3-inch diameter with a slotted spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a higher starch content than other varieties, which makes them more likely to hold together when grated.
  • Make sure to squeeze as much water out of the grated potatoes as possible. This will help to prevent the latkes from being soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the latkes. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, and they won't be as crispy.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato chive latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give these latkes a try!
