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.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH APPLE



Candied Sweet Potatoes With Apple image

From Light and Tasty Magazine...submitted by H. Grant. My family really enjoyed this recipe this past holiday season. Most commented they liked it because it did not have marshmallows and also loved the addition of apple. I think it would be good with a handful of dried cranberries sprinkled on top too.

Provided by HokiesMom

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (my addition)
1 medium tart apple, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil.
  • Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
  • In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
  • Arrange cooked sweet potatoes and apple slices in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with non-stick spray. (This is where I would add the dried cranberries too).
  • Drizzle brown sugar mixture over the potatoes and apples.
  • Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F, for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue baking for 20-25 minutes longer, basting occasionally with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, use a sharp knife to peel the skin off the potatoes.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Add some spices and herbs to your sweet potatoes: This will help enhance their flavor. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender and slightly caramelized: This will take about 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the apples and cranberries to the sweet potatoes: Stir them in gently so as not to break up the sweet potatoes.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes, apples, and cranberries together for another 10-15 minutes: This will help the flavors meld together.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes, apples, and cranberries warm: They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Sweet potatoes, apples, and cranberries are a delicious and healthy combination. This recipe is a great way to enjoy these ingredients together. The sweet potatoes are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, the apples add a touch of sweetness and tartness, and the cranberries add a pop of color and flavor. This dish is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course. Enjoy!
