Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using shredding holes on a hand-held grater or shredding disk on a food processor, shred potatoes, beet, celery root and onion. Squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible, and place shreds in a large bowl. Add egg, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

  2. Step 2

    Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add a generous film of vegetable oil. Take a handful of potato mixture and press into a flat disk in palm of one hand. Gently place in hot skillet. Repeat until skillet is filled. Fry, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes a side. (Adjust heat as necessary so the latkes do not burn.) Transfer to paper towels to drain; keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.

The kids and I loved them! Veganized by using 2 T. flour and 1 T. ground flaxseed. Baked instead of fried: Added 2 T. oil into batter and baked on parchment paper in 425 oven, 30-40 minutes, turning once. Even better than the traditional all- potato greasy latkes we're used to.

The pickiest members of my family enjoyed this recipe. The potato mixture was still a bit moist even after squeezing so I added matzo meal to firm it up. Will make again!
