To make Potato Latkes with Applesauce, you will need the following ingredients:
For the latkes:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, grated
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the applesauce:
- 4 apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
To start, mix the grated potatoes and onion in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs, flour, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil and flatten with a spatula. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
To make the applesauce, combine the chopped apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the apples are soft and the mixture is thickened, about 15-20 minutes. Mash the apples with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Serve the Potato Latkes with Applesauce hot, with a dollop of applesauce on top of each latke. The crispy texture of the latkes and the sweet and tangy flavor of the applesauce make this dish a crowd-pleaser.
