Quick Potato and Carrot Latkes

Hands up if you love latkes?! These Quick Potato and Carrot Latkes are one of my easy Hanukkah appetizer recipes that I am delighted to share with you today. These crispy fried pancakes are made using a bag of shredded potatoes that are used to make hash browns which makes them even simpler and quicker than the usual latkes. Use my simple trick to check if your oil is at the correct temperature before cooking – add a piece of bread to the pan. It should turn golden brown by the time you count to 10. Adjust heat, as necessary.

To make these, start by mixing grated carrot and onion with a bag of shredded potatoes in a large bowl. Add eggs, salt, and baking powder. Sprinkle in flour and mix using a wooden spoon. Fry the latkes in batches until crisp and golden on both sides. Heat applesauce and the cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat and warm for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain latkes before serving with warm applesauce and sour cream.

To make my Quick Potato and Carrot Latkes, you will need the following ingredients:
