Parsnip-Potato Latkes With Cinnamon Applesauce
- 3 pounds mixed red apples, unpeeled
- 1 lemon
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 pound (about 2) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 pound (about 4) parsnips, peeled
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
- Make the applesauce: Cut the apples into 1-inch pieces.
- Remove 3 wide strips zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler; transfer to a saucepan and squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Add the apples and cinnamon stick, cover and cook over medium heat until soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Uncover and increase the heat to medium high.
- Continue to cook, mashing and stirring the apples, until they thicken, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, then pass the apples through a food mill or puree in a food processor.
- Set aside until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, make the latkes: Grate the potatoes, parsnips and onion using the medium grater attachment of a food processor or the large holes of a box grater.
- Squeeze the mixture by the handful over the sink to remove any excess liquid.
- Mix with the garlic, eggs, parsley and chives in a large bowl, then add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Shape into 12 thin patties, squeezing to remove any remaining liquid as you form each one; lay on a sheet of parchment.
- Heat 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the latkes in batches until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels and season with salt while hot.
- Serve with the cinnamon applesauce.
