SPICY CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack over a sheet pan.
• In a large bowl mix together the carrots and parsnips, potatoes, baking powder, salt and pepper, chiles, cilantro, nigella seeds, chives, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs and stir together.
• Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot, take up heaped tablespoons of the latke mixture, press the mixture against the spoon to extract liquid (or squeeze in your hands), and place in the pan. Press down with the back of the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more spoonfuls, being careful not to crowd the pan. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. The mixture will continue to release liquid, which will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. Stir from time to time, and remember to squeeze the heaped tablespoons of the mix before you add them to the pan.
• Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek yogurt or crème fraiche, or other toppings of your choice such as salsa, chutney or yogurt blended with cilantro, mint, and garlic.

POTATO CARROT PARSNIP PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grate potatoes in long strips, using smooth strokes to run potatoes across the grater. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water. Use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes. Drain well and transfer to a second bowl. Reserve soaking liquid. Set reserved liquid aside for 10 minutes to allow the starch to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour liquid from the bowl, reserving the milky residue (potato starch).
• Using the same method as for potatoes, grate parsnip and carrot. To potatoes add parsnip, carrots, reserved potato starch, chives, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil. Working in batches to accommodate pan size, spoon 1/4 cup of potato mixture into skillet for each pancake. Drop into oil loosely; you should be able to see oil bubbling up in between the individual strands. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in oven. Serve hot, with sour cream and lemon slices.

• For the latkes: Grate the sweet potatoes and parsnips on a box grater and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and toss to combine. Add the flour and stir to distribute evenly. Add the eggs and stir well. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches, form the potato mixture into 3-inch latkes that are about 1/2-inch thick. Add the latkes to the hot oil in a single layer and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat the frying, adding more fat as necessary.
