These crisp, savory cakes, also called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah dish. For best results, cook the pancakes right after forming them.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound (about 3 medium) white potatoes, peeled
8 ounces (about 3 medium) carrots, peeled
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 3 scallions)
Coarse salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup matzo meal
1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor fitted with a fine-hole grating attachment (or on the small holes of a box grater), grate potatoes and carrots. Transfer to a large bowl; add scallions and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Using your hands, mix thoroughly. Mix in egg and matzo meal until combined. Divide into 8 mounds of equal size.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Add half the potato mounds; flatten each to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to paper towels or parchment paper to drain. Repeat with remaining mounds (reduce temperature to medium if browning too quickly). Sprinkle with salt, and serve with sour cream, if desired.

These are the best potato carrot pancakes I've ever had! They're crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The pancakes were easy to make, but they didn't hold together very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These pancakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
