Instructions:
| Prep Time | Total Time | Servings |
|---|---|---|
| 20 minutes | 45 minutes | 20 latkes |
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275ยฐF (135ยฐC).
-
-
Prepare Baking Sheets: Place a large baking sheet in the preheated oven. Line another baking sheet with paper towels.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped dill, flour, salt, baking powder, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Prepare Vegetables: Using a food processor with a medium shredding disk, shred the onion, potatoes, beet, parsnip, and carrot. Alternatively, you can use a large-hole grater. Add the shredded vegetables to the egg mixture and stir until evenly coated.
-
Heat Oil: In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Tilt the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.
-
Cook Latkes: Drop 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture into the skillet, forming four 3-inch rounds. Flatten each mound with a spatula. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
-
Drain and Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked latkes to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain excess oil. Place them on the preheated baking sheet in the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.
-
Repeat: In batches, fry the remaining vegetable mixture using 1 tablespoon of oil per batch. Stir the mixture before frying each batch to ensure even distribution.
-
Serve: Serve the warm vegetable latkes with applesauce and sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded vegetables before mixing them with the egg mixture.
- Ensure the oil in the skillet is hot enough before adding the vegetable mixture to achieve a crispy texture.
- You can customize the seasoning according to your preference by adding herbs or spices like garlic powder or paprika.
- Make-ahead tip: You can prepare the vegetable mixture ahead of time and fry the latkes just before serving for a time-saving option.
Enjoy Your Vegetable Latkes! ๐ฝ๏ธ
