Calicopotatolatkeswithapplesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the egg with the yogurt and milk (or just the yogurt, if you're using the plain normal variety) and set aside. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Peel, quarter and core the apples, then grate them; I use a food processor, but a coarse Microplane or other grater would work easily, I'd imagine.
• Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour bowl, tip in the grated apples and fold it together.
• Pour enough oil to come about 1/4 inch up in a skillet and put on the stove to heat. Dollop spoonfuls -- I use a round soup spoon -- of the apple batter into the sizzling oil; a rubber spatula (the one you used to fold the batter together) will help you scrape the batter off the spoon and press down on the little latkes in the pan. Don't worry about making perfect round pancakes; I like these a bit raggedy and skew-whiff. Fry for a minute or two, until the latkes are a golden brown on the undersides; you can see from the top as they start firming up underneath. Flip them with 2 metal spatulas and fry for another minute on the uncooked side.
• Remove to a tray lined with paper towels to blot the excess oil and continue cooking until you've used up all the batter. Top with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and wring, extracting as much moisture as possible.
• In a medium bowl stir the potatoes, onion, eggs, flour and salt together.
• In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, pressing down on them to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick patties. Brown on one side, turn and brown on the other. Let drain on paper towels. Serve hot!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Peel potatoes. Using the large holes of a box grater or the grater disk on a food processor, grate potatoes and onions. Transfer to a large kitchen towel. Gather ends of towel; twist over sink and squeeze firmly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Open towel; toss mixture to loosen. Gather towel; wring out once more.
• Whisk eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, baking powder, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Add potato mixture. Using your fingers, mix until well coated. (Latke mixture should be wet and thick, not soupy.)
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Set a wire rack inside another large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons schmaltz, if using, and 2 tablespoons oil (or 4 tablespoons oil if not using schmaltz; fat should measure about 1/8") in a 12" nonstick skillet over mediumhigh heat. Drop a small amount of latke mixture into pan. If the fat sizzles around the edges, it's ready. (Do not let fat smoke.)
• Working in batches and adding more schmaltz and oil to skillet as needed to maintain 1/8" fat, drop large spoonfuls of mixture into pan, pressing gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten slightly. (If mixture becomes watery between batches, mix to incorporate; do not drain.)
• Cook latkes, occasionally rotating pan for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 2 1/2-3 minutes per side. (If small pieces of potato floating in the oil start to burn, carefully strain out.)
• Transfer latkes to paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then transfer to prepared wire rack. Place sheet with latkes in oven to keep warm and crisp while cooking remaining latkes.
• Serve warm latkes with applesauce and sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Combine all ingredients; pour in prepared pan.
• Bake 60-65 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• In small, heavy saucepan over moderate heat, bring butter to boil. Boil, uncovered, until layer of foam forms on top, then reduce heat to very low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thin crust begins to form on surface and milky white solids fall to bottom of pan, about 8 minutes. Strain through sieve lined with triple layer of cheesecloth into heatproof liquid measuring cup. Set aside.
• Using medium holes of box grater, grate potatoes and parsnips into large bowl. Stir in egg whites, chives, salt, and pepper.
• In large nonstick sauté pan over low heat, heat 1/2 of clarified butter until hot but not smoking. Drop 3 (1/4-cup) portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form 3 1/2-inch pancakes. Fry until golden-brown, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven. Add more butter as necessary and cook remaining pancakes in same manner.
• Serve pancakes warm with crème fraîche and savory applesauce .

Steps:

• Rehydrate potatoes by soaking them in a bowl of cold water to soften then drain in a colander. Wrap potatoes in paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture. Add the carrots, zucchini, onion and matzoh meal to the potatoes.
• Whip eggs with a whisk, until frothy. Add the egg mixture, a little at a time, to the potatoes until mixture is bound. Potato and vegetable mixture should be firm (versus runny). Season with salt and pepper.
• In small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Place rounded teaspoons of potato mixture into pan and fry on both sides until golden brown.
• Serve with prepared applesauce for dipping.

Steps:

• TO MAKE LATKES: Shred potatoes in a food processor; transfer to a bowl. Add water to cover; let stand 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze well; return potatoes to bowl.
• Stir together potato, eggs and next 4 ingredients until blended.
• Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a large heavy skillet; heat over medium-high heat. Drop potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into hot oil; fry 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sour cream and Homemade Applesauce, if desired.
• TO MAKE APPLESAUCE: Bring all applesauce ingredients to a boil in a Dutch oven; reduce heat and simmer, stirring once, 45 minutes. Drain; remove and discard cinnamon.
• Process apple mixture in a blender until smooth. Yield: 10 cups.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a cloth, and wring them to remove as much moisture as possible. Mix the potatoes, onion, green onion, eggs, flour, and Cajun seasoning together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers (oil should be about 1/3 inch deep). Drop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil, and flatten the potatoes to make the patties 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Brown the patties in the hot oil until golden and crisp on the bottom, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side. Drain the latkes on paper towels, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Add potatoes and onions, in small batches, to blender or food processor container; cover. Process, using pulsing action, until potatoes are coarsely chopped. Spoon into large colander; drain 15 min., stirring occasionally.
• Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in bread crumbs and salt. Add potato mixture; mix well.
• Heat 2 tsp. of the oil in large skillet. Spoon scant 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into skillet; press lightly with back of spoon to flatten. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, cooking 4 or 5 latkes at a time. Cook 2 to 3 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Place on foil-covered ovenproof platter; cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding remaining oil to skillet as needed. Serve with the sour cream and Raspberry-Cinnamon Applesauce.
