Ingredients

½ cup: sweetened applesauce; 125 mL

1 tbsp: raisins; 15 mL

¼ tsp: lemon zest; 1 mL

pinch: ground cinnamon

½ cup: sour cream; 125 mL

1 tbsp: prepared horseradish; 15 mL

2 tsp: lemon juice; 10 mL

2 tsp: finely chopped fresh chives; 10 mL

2 ½ lb: yellow-fleshed potatoes, peeled; 1.25 kg

1: onion, peeled

2: eggs, beaten

½ cup: all-purpose flour; 125 mL

½ tsp: baking powder; 2 mL

1 tsp: salt; 5 mL

¼ tsp: pepper; 1 mL

½ cup: canola oil, for frying; 125 mL

Directions

Step 1

In bowl, mix applesauce, raisins, lemon zest and cinnamon; cover and keep chilled. In another bowl, mix sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice and chives; cover and keep chilled.

Step 2

Shred potatoes and onion on coarse side of box grater or grater blade of food processor. Place shredded potatoes and onions together in colander to drain; squeezing out excess moisture with hands. Discard liquid. Transfer shredded mixture to large bowl. Mix in eggs. Toss with flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cover bottom of large skillet generously with some of the oil; set over medium-high heat. Scoop ¼-cup (60-mL) portions of latke batter into skillet; flattening each mound with back of spoon to form 4-in. (10-cm) rounds. Cook, in batches, 3 min. per side until golden brown and crisp around edges. Add more oil, as required. Make 16 latkes. Drain latkes on paper towel-lined baking sheet. Serve latkes with reserved applesauce and horseradish sauce.

Tip

To make ahead, fry latkes up to 8 hr. in advance of serving. Store, between layers of wax or parchment paper in airtight container, in refrigerator. To reheat, arrange on baking sheet and bake in preheated 425°F (220°C) oven 5 min., or until hot.
