Latkes with Spiced Applesauce and Horseradish Cream
Directions
-
In bowl, mix applesauce, raisins, lemon zest and cinnamon; cover and keep chilled. In another bowl, mix sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice and chives; cover and keep chilled.
-
Shred potatoes and onion on coarse side of box grater or grater blade of food processor. Place shredded potatoes and onions together in colander to drain; squeezing out excess moisture with hands. Discard liquid. Transfer shredded mixture to large bowl. Mix in eggs. Toss with flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
-
Cover bottom of large skillet generously with some of the oil; set over medium-high heat. Scoop ¼-cup (60-mL) portions of latke batter into skillet; flattening each mound with back of spoon to form 4-in. (10-cm) rounds. Cook, in batches, 3 min. per side until golden brown and crisp around edges. Add more oil, as required. Make 16 latkes. Drain latkes on paper towel-lined baking sheet. Serve latkes with reserved applesauce and horseradish sauce.
