Posted by : Lita Lotzkar Latkes: Potato with Cherry-Applesauce - pareve
Recipe by Rabbi Marc Gellman Whisk together two extra large eggs, 1/2 oz kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper add 1/2 lb. flour to egg mixture and whisk well Ratio of five to one washed but unpeeled potatoes to onions (five pounds potatoes to one pound peeled and trimmed onions) shred potatoes and onions in a food processor and dump into a colander. Drain well by pushing with spoon or wrapping in cloth and squeezing (my preference). Immediately add drained potato-onion mixture to the egg-flour mixture. Use a #8 ice cream scoop to scoop about 8oz of mixture into a cast iron skillet with 4 of very hot peanut oil. Immediately flatten pancake with the bottom of a pan or a metal spatula. Cook about two minutes until golden brown and turn to brown on the second side. Serve with apple sauce. Apple Sauce: Core but do not peel about eight mutsu or Rome apples. Cook with 1/4 cup of apple cider and cinnamon stick, 1/2 cup of dried cherries, and 1/4 cup of sugar until mushy. Add 1 Tb of butter, stir to mix and chill. Remove cinnamon stick.
