Paula, our insane cook, was kind enough to send this in. I am rushing to get it out cause Hanukkah starts tomorrow night!


Potato Latkes with Apple & Apricot

I will probably have to concede this one to you as well Ted.
But I am stuck in the kitchen surrounded by recipes that need to be shared.

Ingredients:

1. 3 Sweet Apples ( Gala or Fuji) peeled, cored and cut into cubes
2. ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
3. 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
4. 1 Teaspoon Ginger ( freshly grated works nice)
5. ¼ Teaspoon Dry Mustard
6. 1/3 Cup apricots, sliced ¼ inch thick
7. ¼ Cup Golden Raisins
8. ¼ Cup Water
9. 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and grated ( these work best and have a great flavor)
10. 1 Onion , grated
11. 1 Large Egg
12. 3 Tablespoons Matzo ( meal)
13. 1 Teaspoon Salt ( I omit this)
14. ½ Teaspoon Ground Pepper
15. Canola oil for frying.

Apple & Apricot :

1. Combine apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, ginger and mustard in a small saucepan.
2. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add apricots, raisins and water.
4. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Pour into bowl and set aside.

Latkes:

1. Drain excess water off potatoes on paper towel.
2. Mix grated potatoes, onion, egg, matzo meal, salt, pepper and mix well.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Add ¼ cup of mixture to the hot oil, lightly press with a spatula to flatten pancakes and cook until golden brown. Approx. 5 minutes. Turn it over and cook for another 5 minutes.
5. Serve warm with Apple & Apricot sauce.
