Description

This sweet and Savory Potato Latkes recipe is made with potatoes, apples, cinnamon, and cardamom and served with a tahini and silan sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Latkes:

  • 2 large Gala apples, shredded
  • 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, shredded
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil

For the Tahini Silan Sauce:

  • 3 Tbsp tahini paste
  • 3 Tbsp silan (100% date syrup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place shredded potatoes and apples in a colander, with a bowl underneath. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon of salt and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes (the potatoes and apples will release some liquid).
  3. Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, ring out excess moisture from the grated potatoes and apples (make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible).
  4. Add the rest of the salt, cinnamon, cardamom, egg, and cornstarch and mix well. Using your hands, form 12-15 small latkes.
  5. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet and drop about 5 latkes at a time. Cook over medium heat, 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining latkes, adding more oil if necessary.
  6. Transfer the cooked latkes to the lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
  7. To prepare the tahini silan sauce, combine both in a small bowl and whisk well. Serve alongside the latkes.
