وصف الوصفة:

These crispy-on-the-outside-and-tender-on-the-inside latkes are delicious paired with a subtly spicy clove-scented applesauce.

مكونات الوصفة:

Sauce

1. 1 tablespoon canola oil
2. 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
3. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
5. 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

Latkes

1. 2 cups shredded peeled russet potatoes
2. 1 small onion, finely chopped
3. 1-2 fresh green serrano chiles, stemmed and finely chopped
4. 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
5. 1/2 cup chickpea flour (see Note) or unbleached all-purpose flour
6. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
7. 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
8. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
9. 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
10. 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided

خطوات الوصفة:

1. To prepare sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and cook, stirring, until light brown and aromatic, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in turmeric and cloves. Cook until the spices are fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Scrape the spices into the applesauce in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
2. Preheat oven to 200°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven.
3. To prepare latkes: Thoroughly mix potatoes, onion, chiles to taste, cilantro, flour, cumin, salt, turmeric and eggs in a large bowl.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture in the skillet and flatten with a spatula into a disk roughly 3 inches in diameter. Form as many latkes as you can in the pan without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Briefly drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and potato mixture.
5. Serve the latkes with the seasoned applesauce.
