Description

These Potato & Fresh Horseradish Pancakes offer a vibrant twist on the classic latke. The starchy crispness of the potato contrasts beautifully with the sharp, sinus-clearing bite of freshly grated horseradish. Grated onion adds depth and sweetness, while a light dusting of flour helps bind the mixture into golden, crunchy discs. They are incredibly quick to prepare but deliver a sophisticated flavor profile suitable for both casual brunches and elegant appetizer spreads. Serve them hot with applesauce, sour cream, or alongside roasted meats for a zesty, textural contrast that feels both comforting and invigorating.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Grate the medium potato using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Place the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed potato, grated fresh horseradish, grated onion, and all-purpose flour.
  4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well blended and cohesive.
  5. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering hot.
  6. Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and shape it into a flat disk approximately 2 inches in diameter.
  7. Carefully place the pancake in the hot oil, repeating until you have several pancakes in the pan, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
  8. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and beginning to char.
  9. Flip the pancakes and cook the second side for another 2 minutes until crisp and browned.
  10. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil if necessary.
