Hanukkah's almost over, but before we move to Christmas food here are a couple variations on the potato latke for those of you who would like to shake it up. The sweet potato version I "invented" a few years ago and make year round. The parsnip was recommended to me by my Aunt Susan. This was my first time making them so I'm sure they will go though some different incarnations in the future. Already I am thinking they could use a little fresh dill next time. If you have any ideas (or Sue if you are reading this and would like to clarify your recipe) please leave a comment.
Follow the same proportions as the regular latke recipe except
- for Sweet Potato Latkes replace regular potatoes with sweet and add one large handful of fresh chopped cilantro and a pinch of cumin.
-for Parsnip Latkes replace potatoes with 2 large parsnips
Also I heard a lot about baked latkes this year. I'm not trying to discourage attempts at healthy eating, but isn't oil the whole point of the Hanukkah dish? It's not like we only had enough potatoes for one night of latkes and they magically lasted for 8...know what I'm saying?
You've got one talented family! I'm drooling on my keyboard again.
ReplyDeletedid I miss anything important for the parsnip ones?
