These delicious latkes are the perfect side dish to any (Chanukah) meal. Sweet from the pineapple and golden raisins and savory from the green onions, carrots and potatoes, these are a family favorite!
Instructions
- Shred the carrots and potatoes using a food processor or by hand. Combine the shredded carrots and potatoes in a large bowl. Blend in the eggs.
- Stir in the flour, brown sugar, kosher salt and baking powder making sure the mixture is completely blended.
- Stir in the crushed pineapple, raisins and green onions. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat around 1/2-inch oil over medium/high heat. You can test the oil for doneness by dropping a small amount of batter in the pan. If it sizzles then the oil is ready for frying.
- Scoop 1/2 cups of batter into the oil, flatten slightly if necessary. Fry until both sides are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with apple sauce or extra crushed pineapple. These are good hot or cold.
Tips
- I heard that adding a carrot to the skillet while frying latkes keeps the oil from turning dark. I plan on trying it the next time I make latkes!
