SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, sweet potato, parsley, onion, eggs, flour, corn flakes, salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick pan and add 4 tablespoons of oil. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the pan. Fry the latkes, turning when crisp. Oil may be added to pan in small amounts as needed when frying. Put on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

BEST POTATO ZUCCHINI LATKES

Steps:

• Finely shred potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch. (A flour sack towel works well for this- place towel in a bowl with edges hanging over the sides. Put the potatoes in the bowl and cover them with cold water.) After 10-15 minutes squeeze out potatoes, rinse bowl, and repeat the soaking process one or two more times as needed to remove all the "pink," or "white" starch which sinks to the bottom of the bowl.
• While potatoes are soaking finely chop the parsley, and finely shred the zucchini and onion. Put onion and zucchini in a colander to drain off excess juice. You can carefully press out even more juice. The key to the success of these latkes is washing the starch from the potatoes and removing any excess liquid from the vegetables.
• After the final soak, squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. If using a towel, then twist the top of the towel continuously, squeezing the potatoes into a ball, and wringing out all the fluid. Combine potatoes, zucchini, onion, parsley, salt, herb seasoning, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet until the surface is shimmering. Add large spoonfuls of latke batter to the oil and shape them into pancakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes each side).

ZUCCHINI POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• NOTE: For best latke consistency, half the raw potatoes are grated using the chopping blade of a food processor, half with its fine grating disc.
• Or use a hand box-grater, grating half the potatoes on the large-hole side, the remainder on the fine-hole.
• The latkes can be made cocktail size-they're great passed with drinks.
• In a food processor fitted with a fine grating disk, grate the zucchini.
• Squeeze out any extra liquid and place in a large bowl.
• Grate half the potatoes in the food processor with the grating disc, or on the finest side of a box-grater, and squeeze out any liquid.
• Quickly add the potatoes to the zucchini.
• Add the eggs and the flour until the mixture is no longer runny and stir to blend.
• In the processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse-chop the onion and remaining potato finely, or grate the potato only on the large-hole side of a box-grater and combine with the onions.
• Add to the zucchini-potato mixture.
• Add the dill and season to taste with the salt and pepper.
• Stir to blend well.
• In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/8 to 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Stir the batter if it appears to have separated.
• When the oil is hot (a drop of the potato mixture added to it will sizzle immediately), spoon quarter-cups of the mixture, or tablespoons for cocktail lakes, into the oil.
• Do not crowd.
• Brown the pancakes on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
• They are ready to be turned over when the sides are turning brown.
• Drain them on brown paper or paper towels and keep warm while preparing additional batches.
• Serve immediately.
