Cooking: Apple carrot Latkes

Apple-Carrot Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

Pancakes

1 carrot

1 apple (gala or empire)

1 - 2 cups frozen hash browns or grated potato (amount should be equal to the amount of grated carrot and apple combined)

¼ - ½ of a large white onion

1 tsp salt

1/8 – ¼ tsp black pepper

2 – 4 tbs flour

2 – 3 tbs non-fat plain yogurt

¼ - ½ cup low sugar maple syrup

(yogurt/maple combo can be substituted for 1 egg for a more savory/less sweet pancake)

Vegetable Oil

Sour Cream

½ cup sour cream

½ cup non-fat plain yogurt

¼ cup low sugar maple syrup

Pancakes

Peel and grate carrot and apple into a large bowl. Chop onion and add to bowl. Add hash browns, yogurt, syrup, flour, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Form 2” balls with mixture. In large skillet or pan heat oil over a medium flame. Pan should have ¼ - ½” oil in it (enough so that pancakes are ½ immersed when cooking). Place balls in oil. Use a spatula or small glass to flatten balls into pancakes. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer pancakes to a paper towel covered plate.

Sour Cream

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until combined.
