Stuffing Sweet Potato Latkes Recipes

KERRY'S SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.

EGG YOLK STUFFED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Peel the potatoes and shred them in a food processor fitted with the shredding blade; drain the shredded potatoes in a large colander as the food processor fills up. Press firmly on the potatoes in the colander to remove any excess moisture, pat dry with paper towels and transfer to a large bowl.
• Grate the onion in the food processor fitted with the shredding blade then stir into the potatoes along with the flour, beaten egg, baking powder, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Immediately move to cooking the potato mixture or it will purge too much water and not be crispy.
• Add 1/4 inch oil to the preheated skillet and as soon as it shimmers, add three 1/4-cup mounds of the potato mixture, leaving any excess moisture in the bowl. Flatten each mound with the bottom of the measuring cup and make a well in the middle. Gently place 1 egg yolk in each well and top evenly with another 1/4 cup of the potato mixture. Fry, lowering the heat if browning too quickly, until golden brown and cooked through but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared baking sheet. Add more oil to reach 1/4 inch in the skillet and heat until it shimmers. Repeat frying with the remaining potato mixture and egg yolks. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Stir in eggs until blended. Add potatoes; toss to coat., Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain on paper towels. If desired, top with minced chives and serve with sour cream and applesauce.

CLASSIC POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
• Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
• Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.
