1large russet potatograted, all the water squeezed out
2medium leekswhite parts only, sliced thinly
2medium parsnipspeeled and grated
3tablespoonsmatzo meal
5egg whiteswhites make food crispy, yolks make food cakey
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
½cupduck 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.
