Ingredients
- 1 (24-ounce) bag shredded potatoes for hash browns
- 1 large carrot, peeled
- 1 medium onion, peeled
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons matzo meal, cracker meal or all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 cups chunky apple sauce
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Heat 1/2-inch oil in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. To test oil, add a piece of bread to the pan. It should turn golden brown in a ten-count. Adjust heat, as necessary.
- Place potatoes in a large bowl. Using a hand grater, grate the carrot and onion into the bowl. Add eggs to the bowl. Add salt and baking powder, then sprinkle in meal or flour. Combine vegetables and meal with a wooden spoon.
- Drop mixture into oil in 3-inch mounds, press down gently with spatula to form patties. Fry in batches of 4 to 6 patties depending on the size of your skillet, 1-inch apart, until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Put chunky applesauce and the cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat and warm for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain latkes on paper towels or parchment lined tray. Serve with warm applesauce and sour cream.

Reviews
Definitely trying these!
I made it many times with this recipe..it was beautiful and so easy I only added a Sunnyside up on top of latke sprinkled some salt & pepper yummm!!!
I also added parsnip which was an excellent addition to the potatoes and carrots.
Yum!!!! Easy peasy, especially if you use pre-shredded non-frozen potatoes from the grocery store like I did! It was my first time making latkes and I was quite nervous. We made our own Matzo meal and had a lovely family gathering for Chanukah!
This is almost exactly like I’ve been making mine for years and with rave reviews! I add a bit of garlic and flour as well as matzo meal and skip the baking powder. Also, I use the grater on the food processor for everything including the onions! Great cold, room temperature or hot. (by the way, these are not hash browns as another reviewer commented and ARE latkes! Eaten traditionally with sour cream or apple sauce and usually served along side of brisket especially for the first night of Hanukkah. YUM!!!
YOWZA! This was a grest quick side dish. I did increase the carrots and onion so I increased the dry ingredients slightly to compensate. I also added garlic powder, smoked paprika and some cayenne to really increase the spice quotient. Tasty!
This recipe was great! I titled it surprisingly good due to the weirdness of sour cream and apple sauce- but you HAVE to try it! Absolutely delicious! We plan to have the leftover latkes for breakfast tomorrow along with eggs!
great
can i make these in a deep fryer?
I made the Latkes with the Apricot chicken for dinner last night, and the meal is a winner! The entire meal actually took me about 20 minutes, start to finish. I only made one change, using “pre-grated” carrots from the grocery store, and used Simply Potatoes shredded potatoes. Then I just grated an onion, decided to add in a grated parsnip, too, and continued on with the recipe.
The latke (and who knew they were so fast and east to make???) and the chicken together had my husband rolling his eyes and issung happy groans through the meal. Between the cripy potatoes and the tender chicken, we were both happy bunnies!
If you’re busted for time but want something different, try the Apricot Chicken and the Potato Carrot Latkes; the meal is a real keeper!!
