Sweet Potato Latkes With Crab Salad Recipes

SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
• Grate the onion on a box grater into a large bowl. Grate both potatoes into the same bowl, grating down the length of the potato to get long strands. Toss the potatoes with the onions as you work to keep them from discoloring. Put potato mixture in a clean dish towel and wring out excess liquid. Toss the latke mixture with the flour, salt, and cayenne. Stir in the egg.
• Heat a 1/4-inch oil in a large cast iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup of the latke mixture into the skillet, pressing lightly to form 3-inch pancakes. Take care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until just golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the rack in the oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Serve the latkes topped with a small dollop of sour cream and horseradish. Garnish with a parsley leaf. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO LATKES WITH CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the crab meat, cilantro, crushed red pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a couple grinds of black pepper and the Fresno chiles and cayenne pepper if using in a medium bowl. Gently stir together until just combined.
• Heat 1/4-inch oil in a large high-sided saute pan between medium and medium-high heat until shimmering (about 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer).
• While the oil heats up, line a medium bowl with a dish towel and add the sweet potato and hash brown potatoes. Squeeze dry and then add to a large bowl. Add the egg, chickpea flour, applesauce, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Use your hands to combine the mixture well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into thin patties, about 3 1/2-inches around and a little thicker than 1/4-inch. Transfer the latkes on to a large plate or baking sheet as you form them.
• One by one, scoop up a latke with your hand, patting and reshaping if needed, and then carefully add to the hot oil. Once the latkes are in the oil, fry until golden brown on the first side, 5 to 6 minutes. Then use a second spatula to help flip the latkes over and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a vigorous bubbling at all times. Transfer the latkes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Serve the latkes topped with the crab salad and garnish with cilantro.

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.
