Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 potato
- 2 1/2 parsnips
- 2 1/2 carrots
- 1 onion
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons horseradish (adjust to taste)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare Horseradish Cream:
- In a bowl, combine sour cream and horseradish. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Prepare Latke Mixture:
- Peel and grate the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and onion. Place them in a colander and press down with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Transfer the grated vegetables to a large bowl. Add flour, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your latkes bake to perfection.
-
Form Latkes:
- Divide the parsnip mixture into 10 equal portions, shaping each into a patty or latke.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry 5 latkes at a time, ensuring they are evenly spaced, for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them.
- Once fried, transfer the latkes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
-
Bake Latkes:
- Place the baking sheet with the fried latkes in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning the latkes halfway through the baking time (after 10 minutes), to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
-
Serve:
- Remove the latkes from the oven once they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve hot with the prepared horseradish cream on the side for dipping or spreading.
