Apple-Potato Latkes

Apple-Potato Latkes

A nontraditional approach to a potato latke. The shredding is done using a spiralizer, and the apple and maple syrup give you just enough sweetness to make these different. Good topped with sour cream or applesauce.

Yield:
8 small latkes
Servings:

Ingredients

  • 1 russet potato, peeled
  • 1 firm apple, peeled
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Make a deep vertical cut on each side of the potato and apple.

Step 2
Attach potato to a spiralizer fitted with the small shredded blade and cut into thin shreds. Repeat with apple. Spread shredded potato and apple on several layers of paper towels; squeeze to release as much moisture as possible. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 3
Mix egg, flour, maple syrup, salt, and nutmeg into the bowl.

Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet; flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil if needed.

Cook’s Notes:

There are many brands of spiralizers; the small shredder blade referred to in this recipe is from the Paderno(R) brand.
