Parsnip Golden Beet Latkes Recipes

PARSNIP LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine onion, orange zest, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Add eggs, and stir until incorporated. Stir in flour until incorporated. Add parsnips and potato, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
• Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
• Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

PARSNIP LATKES WITH SMOKED HADDOCK & POACHED EGG

Steps:

• Grate the parsnips into a bowl and add the flour and dill. Beat 2 of the eggs and add them to the bowl. Season and set aside.
• Heat oven to its lowest setting. Pour the milk into a saucepan and add the haddock, skin-side up. Cover, bring slowly to the boil, then turn off the heat and poach for 5 mins. Discard the milk and haddock skin. Put the fish in a bowl and mix in the horseradish and lemon zest - as you stir, the fish will flake. Put the spinach in a casserole dish, then push to one side, pour over 3 tbsp boiling water and season. Put the haddock in the other side, cover with foil and put in the oven to keep warm.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add three large mounds of the parsnip mixture, flatten with the back of a fish slice and fry for 3-4 mins on each side until golden. Transfer to a baking tray lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• Bring a large pan of water to a simmer, crack in the eggs and poach for 2-3 mins, then drain on kitchen paper. Divide the latkes between plates, spoon over the fish and spinach and top with an egg. Season and serve with dill fronds and lemon wedges.

SPICY CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack over a sheet pan.
• In a large bowl mix together the carrots and parsnips, potatoes, baking powder, salt and pepper, chiles, cilantro, nigella seeds, chives, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs and stir together.
• Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot, take up heaped tablespoons of the latke mixture, press the mixture against the spoon to extract liquid (or squeeze in your hands), and place in the pan. Press down with the back of the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more spoonfuls, being careful not to crowd the pan. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. The mixture will continue to release liquid, which will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. Stir from time to time, and remember to squeeze the heaped tablespoons of the mix before you add them to the pan.
• Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek yogurt or crème fraiche, or other toppings of your choice such as salsa, chutney or yogurt blended with cilantro, mint, and garlic.

POTATO PARSNIP LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Peel potato and coarsely grate into a bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to combine. Place potato on towel, then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Stir potato together with parsnips, flour, eggs, chives, salt, and pepper until combined well.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths full 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 cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain. Keep warm on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven. Make more latkes in same manner, in batches of 4, with remaining mixture.

SWEET POTATO PARSNIP LATKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except oil, sour cream and additional green onions until blended.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Scoop sweet potato mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet; flatten slightly. Cook 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter. Add remaining oil as needed to prevent sticking. Top with sour cream. Garnish with additional green onions.

PARSNIP AND CARROT LATKES (VEGETABLE PANCAKES)

• Grate parsnips and carrots by hand or with your food processor's grater attachment.
• Place in large bowl.
• Puree onions and garlic in food processor and add to vegetable mixture.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a heavy pan until right before the oil's smoking point.
• Add 1/4 cup of batter at a time to the hot oil, pressing gently with the back of the spatula until each pancake is 1/2 inch thick.
• Cook until the exterior is crispy and a dark golden brown in color (approximately 2 minutes).
• Flip and cook on the second side.
• Remove with slotted spatula and place on plate lined with several layers of brown paper or paper towel.
• Serve hot.

CARROT-AND-BEET LATKES

• Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
• Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

POTATO-PARSNIP LATKES RECIPE

Steps:

• Grate potatoes and parsnips using large holes of box grater; place on center of large clean kitchen towel. Bring up ends of towel and twist together to form a pouch. Holding pouch over sink, squeeze out excess moisture from vegetables. Place vegetable mixture in large bowl. Add onions, egg, flour, 2 Tbsp. of the dill weed, the salt and pepper; mix well.
• Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. For each latke, carefully spoon 1 tablespoonful of the vegetable mixture into skillet, cooking two to three latkes at a time. Immediately spread each mound into thin circle with back of spoon. Cook 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove latkes from skillet; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining vegetable mixture.
• Serve each latke topped with 1 tsp. of the sour cream. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 Tbsp. dill weed.
