Since I bought the 22 lbs of champagne apples from Dixon Apple Farm on last month.I wanted to created some dishes related with the apples. First thing it came up in my mind by saying " why not to make something with potato and apple but what kind?". Later, it came up in my mind something related with the latkes.
Mostly people make the latkes by using the potatoes only or mixed with shredded vegetables like zucchini or carrot.
I thought of grating the apples to mix the potato to make it more sweeter and it does.
2 potatoes, grated or a bag of shredded potato
2 apples, grated
1 egg
Salt and Pepper
Some of flour~ I would say about few tablespoons
Mix it altogether. For the flour part, I usually use few tablespoons of the flour like 2 or 3 by using my judgement by feeling the texture by seeing how it stick together. If you don't see anything that stick up then add a little bit of flour.
Heat the pan with some of vegetable or canola oil. Drop a little bit of the latke mixture by seeing if the oil is ready for frying.
Dollop the mixture into the pan and spread it out a little bit to make it look as latkes. Frying on each side like 5 mins or so before flip over AND you want to make sure that inside is completely cooked too.
Enjoy serving it with sour cream or apple sauce as your choice :)
My dad always made such yummy potato cakes with shredded onions...it was so delicious. I would love trying this using apples too as well for that little sweet touch to it. Are your girls good at willing to taste your food when you try new recipes? My first son is very fussy when it comes to food but second son seems more willing to try new things. :-)
