BEST POTATO ZUCCHINI LATKES



Best Potato Zucchini Latkes image

The method for these latkes is what makes them stand apart from ordinary potato or potato zucchini latkes. These are so fabulous they even taste great cold!

Provided by Ashrei

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 24-36 latkes, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large potatoes, peeled
2 large zucchini, unpeeled
1 medium onion
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons blended herb seasoning mix or 2 teaspoons monterey style seasoning
6 eggs
1 2/3 cups flour
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 cup cooking oil

Steps:

  • Finely shred potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch. (A flour sack towel works well for this- place towel in a bowl with edges hanging over the sides. Put the potatoes in the bowl and cover them with cold water.) After 10-15 minutes squeeze out potatoes, rinse bowl, and repeat the soaking process one or two more times as needed to remove all the "pink," or "white" starch which sinks to the bottom of the bowl.
  • While potatoes are soaking finely chop the parsley, and finely shred the zucchini and onion. Put onion and zucchini in a colander to drain off excess juice. You can carefully press out even more juice. The key to the success of these latkes is washing the starch from the potatoes and removing any excess liquid from the vegetables.
  • After the final soak, squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. If using a towel, then twist the top of the towel continuously, squeezing the potatoes into a ball, and wringing out all the fluid. Combine potatoes, zucchini, onion, parsley, salt, herb seasoning, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet until the surface is shimmering. Add large spoonfuls of latke batter to the oil and shape them into pancakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes each side).

ZUCCHINI POTATO LATKES



Zucchini Potato Latkes image

I recently discovered this recipe on the web. Because of the miracle of the oil in the story of Chanukah, it's traditional to eat something oil-fried for the holiday. Latkes - potato pancakes - are the customary fried dish. This delicious version features zucchini in addition to the potatoes, and makes light, delicate pancakes. Perfect for the Festival of Lights, these are scrumptious as is, or with applesauce or sour cream. The 5-minute cooking time is per latkes. The servings indicated are for 32 large latkes or 72 cocktail size.

Categories     Food Processor     Egg     Potato     Side     Hanukkah     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Carrot     Zucchini     Winter     Pan-Fry     Small Plates

Yield Makes 24-36, depending on size

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 large potatoes
2 large carrots
2 medium-size zucchini
1 large onion
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup matzah meal
Vegetable oil for frying
Equipment
Vegetable peeler
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
Food processor or hand grater
Mixing bowl
Spoon
10-inch frying pan
Pancake turner
Paper towels
Baking sheet (optional)

Steps:

  • Child: Peel the potatoes and carrots. Put the potatoes in cold water.
  • Adult with Child: This is a perfect way to teach your child how to use the food processor. Depending on the age, keep a good watch over him or her. Use the steel blade or the shredding blade to grate the zucchini, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Show the child how to use the "pulse" button or turn the machine on and off frequently so the vegetables don't turn into the soupy mess called a puree. Vegetables can also be grated by hand with an aluminum grater.
  • Child: In a bowl, mix together the grated vegetables, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir in the matzah meal. Shape the batter into pancakes, using 1-2 tablespoons of mixture for each.
  • Adult with Child: Fry the latkes, a few at a time, in 1-2 tablespoons hot oil for 1 1/2 minutes per side. Add additional oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with applesauce.

Tips:

  • To get the best results, use a box grater to shred the zucchini and potatoes. This will create a more uniform texture for your latkes.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture from the zucchini and potatoes as possible. This will help prevent the latkes from becoming too soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the latkes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, or tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Zucchini potato latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover zucchini and potatoes, and they can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
