Recipe Yield: 12 Latkes
Recipe Instructions:
- Start by mixing the sour cream and blue cheese together in a bowl, then set it aside for later use.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine the grated russet potatoes, finely grated parsnip, chopped onion, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Sprinkle potato starch over the mixture and mix again until evenly incorporated. The potato starch helps compensate for the additional moisture from the parsnips and ensures the latkes turn out crispy.
- Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture into the skillet for each latke, shaping them into approximately 3 1/2″ diameter patties. Cook the latkes in batches, ensuring they have enough space in the skillet to fry evenly.
- Fry the latkes for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- While frying, preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Once a batch of latkes is cooked, transfer them onto a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven until all the latkes are done.
- Serve the hot latkes immediately with the prepared sour cream and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Recipe Notes:
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can substitute sour cream with cottage cheese or yogurt in the dressing.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more salt, pepper, or even some additional herbs for extra flavor.
- These parsnip-potato latkes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed not only for breakfast but also as a tasty lunch or snack option.
- To make this recipe suitable for Ramadan, you can customize the seasoning to align with your dietary preferences and restrictions.
