Latkes with Apple Ginger Chutney Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   Make Chutney: In a large saucepan, combine apples, onion, ginger, vinegar, salt, mustard, sugar, red pepper flakes, and raisins. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 40 minutes.

2. 2.

   Make Latkes: Place grated potato in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Let sit for 15 minutes, then drain, squeezing out as much excess moisture as possible.

3. 3.

   In a medium bowl, combine drained potato, onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

4. 4.

   Line a baking sheet or platter with paper towels. In a large skillet with at least 2 inch sides, heat a 1/4 inch layer of vegetable oil over medium high heat.

5. 5.

   When oil is hot but not smoking, add large spoonfuls of batter to pan. Lightly tamp down batter with a spatula to make a 1/3 inch thick patty. Cook latkes until golden on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn latkes over and cook until other side is golden, about another 3 minutes.

6. 6.

   Use a slotted spoon to remove latkes from pan and place on paper towels. Let drain while cooking remainder of latkes. Serve hot with apple chutney.
