Potato Latkes with Apple-Apricot Compote
- 3 firm, sweet apples (such as Gala or Fuji)
- 1/4 c. light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. grated, fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp. dried mustard
- 13 c. dried apricots
- 1/4 c. golden raisins
- 3 Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp. matzo meal
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. fresh-ground pepper
- Make the Apple-Apricot Compote: Combine the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger, and mustard in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Add the apricots, raisins, and 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook for 10 more minutes.
- Lightly mash the compote with the back of a wooden spoon, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the Latkes: Place small batches of grated potatoes in the center of a dish towel, gather up the sides of the towel, and wring excess liquid from the potatoes.
- Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the potatoes, mix well, and set aside.
- Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potato mixture by the 1/4 cupful to the hot oil, lightly flatten pancakes with a spatula, and cook latkes until golden -- about 5 minutes.
- Turn over and cook until heated through and golden brown -- about 5 more minutes.
- Serve warm.
