Butternut Squash Latkes
- 1 1/2 cups grapeseed or other neutral oil, more as needed
- 1 large yellow onion, halved, peeled, and thinly sliced lengthwise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (about 2 large)
- 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash (about 1/2 medium)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup matzo meal
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram
- Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 350F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add the onion and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden all over and very soft, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Peel and grate the potatoes and butternut squash.
- Put in a large bowl, along with the onions, eggs, matzo meal, parsley, sage, marjoram, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Toss gently to combine thoroughly.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, use a 1/3-cup dry measure to scoop a mound of the mixture into the pan.
- With a fork, spread and flatten the mixture to a 4-inch disk.
- Repeat 3 more times.
- When the first side is golden brown (about 2 minutes), carefully flip the latkes over and brown the other sides, about 2 minutes more.
- Transfer the latkes to a rimmed baking sheet and continue to scoop and brown the remaining latke mixture in batches, adding another few tablespoons of oil before each new batch.
- Arrange the latkes in a single layer on the baking sheet; youll probably need at least 2 sheets to accomplish this.
- When all the latkes have been shaped and browned, transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake until the latkes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot.
