Sweet Potato Latkes With Crab Salad Food

SWEET-POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, spoon 1/8 cup potato mixture per latke into oil and flatten to 3-inch diameter with a slotted spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.

KERRY'S SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.

SWEET POTATO LATKES WITH CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the crab meat, cilantro, crushed red pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a couple grinds of black pepper and the Fresno chiles and cayenne pepper if using in a medium bowl. Gently stir together until just combined.
• Heat 1/4-inch oil in a large high-sided saute pan between medium and medium-high heat until shimmering (about 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer).
• While the oil heats up, line a medium bowl with a dish towel and add the sweet potato and hash brown potatoes. Squeeze dry and then add to a large bowl. Add the egg, chickpea flour, applesauce, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Use your hands to combine the mixture well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into thin patties, about 3 1/2-inches around and a little thicker than 1/4-inch. Transfer the latkes on to a large plate or baking sheet as you form them.
• One by one, scoop up a latke with your hand, patting and reshaping if needed, and then carefully add to the hot oil. Once the latkes are in the oil, fry until golden brown on the first side, 5 to 6 minutes. Then use a second spatula to help flip the latkes over and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a vigorous bubbling at all times. Transfer the latkes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Serve the latkes topped with the crab salad and garnish with cilantro.

SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Grate the onion on a box grater into a large bowl. Grate both potatoes into the same bowl, grating down the length of the potato to get long strands. Toss the potatoes with the onions as you work to keep them from discoloring. Put potato mixture in a clean dish towel and wring out excess liquid. Toss the latke mixture with the flour, salt, and cayenne. Stir in the egg.
• Heat a 1/4-inch oil in a large cast iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup of the latke mixture into the skillet, pressing lightly to form 3-inch pancakes. Take care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until just golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the rack in the oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Serve the latkes topped with a small dollop of sour cream and horseradish. Garnish with a parsley leaf. Serve immediately.
