Turkey Latkes with Black Pepper Gravy
Servings
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes
- Oil for frying
- 1 large onion grated
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Manischewitz Matzoh Meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Kosher salt
- White pepper
- 1/4 pound roast turkey shredded
- Black Pepper Gravy
Instructions
- Prepare a large bowl filled with cold water.Peel potatoes, and as you finish each, place in cold water to prevent browning.
- Pour oil about 1/4 way up the side of a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Grate potatoes on the large hole side of a box grater. Alternatively, cut potatoes lengthwise into halves or quarters so they fit into food processor feed tube. Process potatoes using the blade that creates thin, shoestring-like strips and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add onions, egg, Manischewitz Matzoh Meal, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Add shredded turkey and mix well until combined.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of mixture into hot oil. Using the back of a spoon, pat down each latke to flatten it. Put as many as you can in the skillet without crowding. Putting them too close together will make them soggy.
- Fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp around the edges; repeat procedure until finished with all the batter.
- Drain on paper towel lined baking sheets.Serve warm with Black Pepper Gravy.
