Lower Carb Traditional Potato Latkes
Ingredients
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 medium russet potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed well (1 pound, about 2 cups shredded)
1 head cauliflower (about 2 cups shredded)
3 eggs (beaten)
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Garnish: (applesauce, Greek yogurt with za’atar)
Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Cut potatoes lengthwise into halves or quarters so they fit into the food processor feed tube.
Step 3
Process potatoes using the blade that creates thin, shoestring-like strips and transfer to a large bowl.
Step 4
Add the shredded cauliflower, eggs, cornmeal, salt, and pepper and mix well.
Step 5
Drop 6 to 8 spoonfuls of mixture into hot oil. Using the back of a spoon, pat down each latke to flatten it. Put as many as you can in the skillet without crowding. Putting them too close together will make them soggy.
Step 6
Fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp around the edges; repeat procedure until finished with all the batter.
Step 7
Remove latkes to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
