Yield Makes about 32 latkes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large celery root (celeriac; 1 1/2 lb), peeled with a knife
1 1/2 lb large russet (baking) potatoes (about 3 large)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 lb onions, quartered
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seeds
About 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Special Equipment
a kitchen towel (not terry cloth)

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Coarsely grate celery root into a bowl using the 1/3-inch-wide holes of a box grater.
  • Peel potatoes and coarsely grate into a large bowl. Add lemon juice and toss. Coarsely grate onions into same bowl.
  • Transfer to towel, then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible.
  • Return potatoes and onions to cleaned bowl and stir in celery root, flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and celery seeds until combined well.
  • Heat 1/3 inch oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure (not tightly packed) with latke mixture and carefully spoon it into skillet, then flatten to 3 inches in diameter with a slotted spatula. Form 3 more latkes in skillet, then fry until undersides are deep golden, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn over using 2 spatulas and fry until deep golden all over, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more. (If latkes brown too quickly, lower heat to moderate.) Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Keep warm in 1 layer on a metal rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven. Make more latkes in same manner. Use a second rack and baking pan to keep last batches warm.

These latkes were easy to make and turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with sour cream and applesauce, and they were a big hit with my family.

These latkes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had drained them on paper towels before serving. But they were still crispy and delicious, so I would definitely make them again.

These latkes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with more salt and pepper, or maybe some other spices. But they were still crispy and delicious, so I would definitely make them again.
