Parsnip And Pear Latkes Food

SWEET POTATO AND PARSNIP LATKES WITH CHUNKY 5-SPICE APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• For the applesauce: Combine the apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, apple cider, 5-spice powder and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir to combine. Cook until the apples begin to break down but are still chunky, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• 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.
• Serve the latkes with the applesauce, sour cream and scallions.

• Fill a large, heavy-bottom skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; the oil should sizzle upon contact.)
• Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each pancake. Lightly tamp down to flatten.
