Parsnip and Leek Latkes Pg. 41 — PARSNIP AND LEEK LATKES

I serve these latkes with my favorite chicken or pot roast as a side dish. They are fragrant and so savory.

Ingredients

1 large russet potato grated, all the water squeezed out
2 medium leeks white parts only, sliced thinly
2 medium parsnips peeled and grated
3 tablespoons matzo meal
5 egg whites whites make food crispy, yolks make food cakey
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
½ cup duck fat

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients together. (I always make a small “tester” latke to make sure my seasoning is correct).
Heat a large sauté pan with the duck fat over medium heat. When the fat is hot and sizzles when a bit of potato is put in it, drop the latke mixture from teaspoons into the fat. Brown on each side and transfer to a paper-towel lined pan.
