Yukon Gold Potato And Jerusalem Artichoke Latkes With Apple-Horseradish Mayonnaise And Taramasalata

• 1 (2-inch) piece fresh horseradish root, peeled and finely grated
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Pommery or Dijon mustard
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
• 1 pound Jerusalem artichokes, thoroughly washed
• 1 large yellow onion, peeled
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
• About 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 (14-ounce) jar taramasalata*
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
• Large baking sheet

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the horseradish, applesauce, vinegar, mustard, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD:
2. Line a large bowl with a clean cloth napkin or lint-free kitchen towel.
3. Working in batches, use the larger side of a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grater attachment to coarsely grate the potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, and onion. As they're grated, transfer the vegetables to the towel-lined bowl. Gather the corners of the towel and wring as much excess liquid as possible from the vegetables. Transfer the wrung vegetables to a dry mixing bowl. Add the egg and parsley and stir to combine. While stirring the mixture, gradually add the flour, stirring well to incorporate.
4. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.
5. In a large saute pan over moderately high heat, heat 1/4 inch of oil until hot but not smoking. Test the latke batter by frying a small amount of batter in the hot oil-it should hold together and not fall apart when flipped. If necessary, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, but try to add as little flour as possible to create light latkes.
6. Working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon-size dollops of batter into the hot oil and use the back of a spoon to press the batter into 1 1/2-inch diameter pancakes. Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the latkes and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes. As they finish cooking, transfer the latkes to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
7. Arrange the latkes on a large plate or platter and top half with apple-horseradish mayonnaise and half with taramasalata. Sprinkle with minced chives and serve immediately.
