LATKES

Ingredients:

• 6 potatoes, peeled and finely grated,
• 1 large turnip, peeled and grated,
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder,
• 2 teaspoons baking powder,
• 2.5 cups matzo meal, adding more if needed,
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher sea salt, or any salt,
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper,
• Applesauce if meat, or sour cream if dairy,

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Wash and completely drain the potatoes, removing the excess water.  Place the ingredients in a bowl and add, as follows: turnip, mustard powder, baking powder, matzo meal, salt, and pepper.  Mix the ingredients well, while adding a little extra matzo meal if needed.

2. With your hands, shape the mixed ingredients into small patties, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Place the latkes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until a desired crisp doneness appears on the bottom.  Turn over the lakes and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until both sides are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

3.  Serve hot with applesauce for a meat meal or sour cream for a prepared dairy meal.
