  • For each latke drop 1 rounded tablespoonful vegetable mixture into hot oil, spreading to about 2 1/2 inch flat circle.
  • Fry 4-5 at a time for 2-3 minutes until edges are crisp, then turn and fry 2-3 minutes more until golden brown, adding oil as needed during frying.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Cover and keep warm till all are fried.

  1. Loved these but have a suggestion for them to crisp up easier. <br/><br/>A trick I learned from one of the cooking sites is to put the shredded potatoes into a salad spinner just before mixing them with the other ingredients. You'd be amazed how much liquid your get out of them. They cook quicker and seem to be less oily this way.
     
  2. Very good...I like the added sweetness of the carrots and the tang of the green onion. Make sure you make these flat, so the potatoes cook thru.
     
  3. I made these for diner tonight and enjoyed them. I halved the recipe easily. Thank you!

One of the old time founding members of Recipezaar. I live in Port Orchard, Washington. I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything! I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow. Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
