SWEET POTATO AND CARROT LATKES WITH SPICED APPLE-CRANBERRY RELISH



Sweet Potato and Carrot Latkes with Spiced Apple-Cranberry Relish image

While the flavor profile of these latkes is a complete departure from a classic potato latke recipe, they fry up just as crispy and lacey as ever. The spiced relish starts with a base of caramelized onions for depth and dimension. We found that the addition of one russet potato in the batter lends just enough potato starch to keep the latkes creamy on the inside without detracting from the sweet flavor of the carrots and sweet potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield about 2 dozen latkes

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (from 3 to 4 sprigs)
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 large sweet potatoes
1 russet potato
3 large carrots
1 large yellow onion
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • For the spiced apple-cranberry relish: Melt the butter over medium-high in a medium pot. Add the onion, stir to coat and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and just beginning to brown around the edges of the pot, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar, thyme and 1 tablespoon brown sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and very soft, about 20 minutes. Add the apples, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, lower the heat if necessary, until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cranberries. Keep warm while preparing the latkes.
  • For the latkes: Peel the sweet and Russet potatoes and shred them in a food process fitted with the shredding blade. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl as the food processor bowl fills up. Repeat with the carrots and onion. Toss the vegetables together with your hands, breaking up and evenly dispersing all the shredded vegetables throughout. Mix in the flour, baking powder and egg and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture in the oil; if it sizzles steadily, the oil is ready.
  • Working in batches, scoop the vegetable mixture by 1/4 cupfuls add and them carefully to the skillet, flattening each latke slightly with a spatula. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Serve hot or keep warm in 200-degree F oven. Serve with the spiced apple-cranberry relish and sour cream.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Delicata Squash With Cranberry Agrodolce image

The cranberry sauce for this holiday-ready side does double duty: it tastes great drizzled over roasted delicata squash and sweet potatoes, but it's also an excellent turkey condiment.

Yield 8 servings

SWEET POTATOES WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY



Sweet Potatoes With Cranberry Chutney image

This is an easy and surprisingly delicious way to get a dramatic-looking sweet-potato dish on the table with little fuss. The heat of the jalapeños in the chutney, mixed with aromatic vegetables and the sweetness of the dried fruit, gives the cranberries depth. A dollop of sour cream goes on the halved sweet potato, followed by a generous spoonful of chutney. Make the chutney up to two weeks ahead and keep it in the refrigerator. It also freezes well. Assembly on Thanksgiving is an easy last-minute task.

CHICKEN & SWEET POTATO HASH WITH A CRANBERRY RELISH



Chicken & Sweet Potato Hash With a Cranberry Relish image

This is great comfort food, but still nice enough to serve to company. With the apples, cranberries and sweet potatoes it is a true reminder of Fall, but I still don't mind eating this any time of the year. I consider this a hash, but whatever you decide to call it ... it is very very tasty. The cranberry relish is really what makes this dish - but is wonderful served on it's own with ham, chicken or pork - it is the perfect blend of flavors, Sarasota's Sweet and Savory Cranberry Relish. The cranberry relish can be served warm or cold.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 Individual servings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled, diced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
3 slices bacon, diced but not too fine (I get a maple or hickory bacon if possible, but anything will work)
1 granny smith apple, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 celery rib, fine diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth (I start with 1/4 cup, but more may be needed)
1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped (1/2 dried)
salt
pepper
1 cup frozen cranberries
1/4 cup onion, fine chopped
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (1/2 cup after being chopped)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons chives, minced
1 teaspoon butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Walnuts -- In a small dry saute pan on medium to medium high heat, add the walnuts and toast until golden brown. You will begin to smell them and that is when you know they are done. Stir often and keep an eye on them, they only take a few minutes. Remove, and let cool.
  • Cranberry Relish -- In a medium sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add the onion and simmer 2 minutes until slightly tender. Then stir in the cranberries, cranberry juice, water, pinch of salt, maple syrup and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer (medium low to low) and cook until the cranberries start to pop - it will take 7-10 minutes. Continue to cook as you stir in the walnuts, chives, dijon mustard, pepper and any additional salt to taste. Cook another minute or two and then remove from the heat and cool. It will thicken upon cooling. This can easily be done in advance.
  • Base -- In a large saute pan on medium high heat, add the bacon and saute until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove to the side on a paper plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Chicken -- In the same pan with the bacon drippings, add the chicken (seasoned well with salt and pepper) and cook until golden brown. Once again, remove the chicken to the same plate with the bacon.
  • Onions, Celery and Potatoes -- To that same pan with the bacon drippings and chicken bits, add the potatoes, onion, celery and garlic. Add additional oil - only if necessary. The potatoes will soak up a lot, but you should have enough from the bacon dripping, but if not - add just a little olive oil, a little at a time if needed. Then add approximately 1/4-1/3 cup chicken broth and cook uncovered on medium heat. The broth will give it a little moisture and help cook the potatoes (don't add too much, this is just to help the cooking process started). Cook about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes begin to get tender. The broth will reduce and the potatoes and onion will start to brown up. Cooking time will depend on how small you diced your potatoes.
  • Finish -- Once the potatoes are tender. You don't want them falling apart, just tender. Add in the apple slices (they don't take long to cook), the chicken and bacon back in along with the sage, thyme and parsley. Check for seasoning, and add salt and pepper if needed. Cook an additional 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. If it looks a bit dry, add a little more broth, that is why you have it. Water will work too if you don't have broth on hand.
  • Serve -- The hash is done! Time to eat. I prefer to warm up the cranberry relish in the microwave, but serving it cold is just fine. I just "nuke" it for 1 minute on medium just to take the chill off and then serve a nice dollop right on top on your hash. It is just the perfect condiment to this savory dish. ENJOY!
