Potato Latkes With Roasted Tomatoes Zucchini And Fried Eggs Food

ZUCCHINI LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze zucchini dry. Stir in the eggs, onion, matzo meal, pepper and remaining salt. , In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream if desired.

EGG YOLK STUFFED LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Peel the potatoes and shred them in a food processor fitted with the shredding blade; drain the shredded potatoes in a large colander as the food processor fills up. Press firmly on the potatoes in the colander to remove any excess moisture, pat dry with paper towels and transfer to a large bowl.
• Grate the onion in the food processor fitted with the shredding blade then stir into the potatoes along with the flour, beaten egg, baking powder, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Immediately move to cooking the potato mixture or it will purge too much water and not be crispy.
• Add 1/4 inch oil to the preheated skillet and as soon as it shimmers, add three 1/4-cup mounds of the potato mixture, leaving any excess moisture in the bowl. Flatten each mound with the bottom of the measuring cup and make a well in the middle. Gently place 1 egg yolk in each well and top evenly with another 1/4 cup of the potato mixture. Fry, lowering the heat if browning too quickly, until golden brown and cooked through but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared baking sheet. Add more oil to reach 1/4 inch in the skillet and heat until it shimmers. Repeat frying with the remaining potato mixture and egg yolks. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve immediately.

• Whip eggs with a whisk, until frothy. Add the egg mixture, a little at a time, to the potatoes until mixture is bound. Potato and vegetable mixture should be firm (versus runny). Season with salt and pepper.
• In small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Place rounded teaspoons of potato mixture into pan and fry on both sides until golden brown.
• Serve with prepared applesauce for dipping.

• For the latkes:.
• Coarsely grate the potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Drain. Spread the potatoes and onions on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist the towel tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible. Transfer the potato mixture to a bowl and stir in the chives, eggs, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Shape the potato mixture into patties.
• Heat the canola oil in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, if necessary, cook the latkes until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 5 minutes.

• Break the eggs into the pan, leaving some space between them if possible. (This all depends on the size of your pan)
• Cook until the whites just start to set, then pop a cover on and finish cooking until eggs are set and done to your taste. We like them so that the yolks are a bit runny.

BEST POTATO ZUCCHINI LATKES

Steps:

• Finely shred potatoes. Soak potatoes in cold water to remove starch. (A flour sack towel works well for this- place towel in a bowl with edges hanging over the sides. Put the potatoes in the bowl and cover them with cold water.) After 10-15 minutes squeeze out potatoes, rinse bowl, and repeat the soaking process one or two more times as needed to remove all the "pink," or "white" starch which sinks to the bottom of the bowl.
• While potatoes are soaking finely chop the parsley, and finely shred the zucchini and onion. Put onion and zucchini in a colander to drain off excess juice. You can carefully press out even more juice. The key to the success of these latkes is washing the starch from the potatoes and removing any excess liquid from the vegetables.
• After the final soak, squeeze out as much water as possible from the potatoes. If using a towel, then twist the top of the towel continuously, squeezing the potatoes into a ball, and wringing out all the fluid. Combine potatoes, zucchini, onion, parsley, salt, herb seasoning, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix well.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet until the surface is shimmering. Add large spoonfuls of latke batter to the oil and shape them into pancakes about 1/4 inch thick. Fry until golden brown (approximately 6 minutes each side).

EASY POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine onion, salt, and pepper. Add eggs, and stir until incorporated. Add matzo meal, and stir until incorporated. Add potatoes, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
• Fill a large 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; it should sizzle upon contact.)
• Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

CLASSIC POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Coarsley grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl, or use a food processor with a coarse grating blade. Leave the mixture to rest for about 15 mins so the liquid releases from the onions and potatoes. Carefully drain off the liquid for about 30 mins until the mixture is dry, then put in a cheese cloth and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
• Add the eggs, flour, 1 tsp sea salt and pepper, and mix well. Pour the oil into the pan so that it is 2-3cm deep. Set over a medium heat for a few minutes until it ripples.
• Carefully spoon in the mixture to the size you want - 2 tbsp for large latkes or 1 tbsp for small. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook on each side until browned for 2 mins. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper, then season with a sprinkling of salt. Serve with the soured cream and smoked salmon, finished with a sprinkling of chives, or just apple sauce - both are traditional.
