Ingredients:
- basic mix for 1 recipe ( repeat x 3 ) but see notes for all 3 kinds of pancakes
- fresh grated black pepper to taste
- 1 very large onion finely grated ( divided , larger amount goes for potato ancake recipe )
- minced fresh garlic ( optional ) esp. nice in zucchini recipe
- oil to fry ( example canola -not olive )
- accompany with: applesauce, sour cream, maple syrup, mango chutney etc.
Directions:
- I use this ratio for several recipes to use common ingredients..
- One may use only one recipe if desired.
- I usually make all 3 varieties and have some leftovers; which may be
- Reheated in the oven.
- However fried foods taste best freshly made and when served immediately !
- Into each of three mixing bowls place the flour, salt, pepper, baking
- Powder,and stir well.
- Grate one very large onion and divide into the 3 bowls, using more onion for potato pancake batter.
- For Potato pancakes peel and chop raw potatoes in food processor ( metal lade ) - or finely grate by hand. ( place peeled potatoes in ice cold water as you finish peeling them prior to grating/chopping)
- Place grated potatoes in colander to drain off liquid.
- Then place potatoes in clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess water by hand ( you will be amazed how much more liquid is squeezed out ).
- Place potatoes into bowl with batter ingredients and add 2 to 4 large
- Eggs, some fresh chopped or dried parsley to taste and mix well by hand to achieve thick batter consistency
- For Zucchini pancakes: shred zucchini and press out excess liquid in colander.
- Add to dry ingredients with 3 eggs, and mix well. Garlic is a nice
- Addition here.
- For Sweet potatoes. Peel and finely chop/grate. There is really no excess liquid with raw sweet potatoes.
- Add to flour mixture and add cinnamon to taste along with 3 eggs and mix well.
- All recipes should have a thick batter consistency and so one may have to adjust the amount of flour & eggs etc to achieve that consistency.
- Heat oil in a heavy duty skillet /electric fry pan ( at least one inch
- Deep ) to about 360F med high heat until oil is wavy and a drop of batter placed into oil will float to top and sizzle.
- Too cold oil and fried foods get greasy and soggy , too hot, fried foods brown and don't cook through
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoons/or level mixing spoons and spread out top with bottom of spoon.
- Fry each side till golden brown several minutes each side and turn to other side frying till golden brown again; ideally turning each pancake over just one.
- Drain on paper toweling, remove and place on serving platter.
- Or keep warm in 200F oven until all are fried and ready to serve.
- Serve with your favorite condiments.
- Yield: for each type of pancake recipe: approximately 10 to 12 servings all depends how large they are when going into oil to fry.
- Note: Leftover batters may be saved ,and baked into a kugel, in greased pan in 350F oven till golden
- I often mix both the zucchini and potato batters for a kugel.
- The sweet potato latkes( natural sugars in sweet potatoes ) may tend to burn more quickly when fried , more crisp and not as soft and puffy as the other recipes.
- However, one may partially cook/micro the raw sweet potato then get a softer grate and have a softer texture latke.
- These are great accompaniements to meat and poultry or as a vegetarian supper.
