Apple-Potato Latkes Recipe

Recipe by: lutzflcat

"A nontraditional approach to a potato latke. The shredding is done using a spiralizer, and the apple and maple syrup give you just enough sweetness to make these different. Good topped with sour cream or applesauce."

1Make a deep vertical cut on each side of the potato and apple.
2Attach potato to a spiralizer fitted with the small shredded blade and cut into thin shreds. Repeat with apple. Spread shredded potato and apple on several layers of paper towels; squeeze to release as much moisture as possible. Transfer to a bowl.
3Mix egg, flour, maple syrup, salt, and nutmeg into the bowl.
4Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet; flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil if needed.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
There are many brands of spiralizers; the small shredder blade referred to in this recipe is from the Paderno(R) brand.
Use liquid egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters(R)) if desired.
A 2-tablespoon cookie scoop works great for step 4.
