A delightful twist on traditional potato latkes—these crisp apple-and-potato fritters are paired with a fragrant curried yogurt sauce for a sweet-savory dish that’s perfect for brunch, holidays, or as a unique side.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple, peeled and grated
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 tbsp potato starch or flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2–3 tbsp oil or fat for frying
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the apple and potatoes. Use a clean towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine grated apple, grated potato, potato starch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Form small patties (about 2–3 inches wide) from the mixture and gently flatten them.
  5. Fry the latkes in batches, cooking each side for about 2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Add more oil as needed between batches.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix the yogurt, curry powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to make the curried yogurt sauce.
  7. Drain cooked latkes briefly on paper towels if desired.
  8. Serve warm with the curried yogurt sauce drizzled over or on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use firm apples (like Granny Smith) and starchy potatoes (like Russets) for the best texture.
  • Squeeze excess liquid from the grated apple and potato to ensure crisp latkes.
  • Keep cooked latkes warm in a low oven while frying the rest.
  • For a gluten-free version, use potato starch or gluten-free flour and gluten-free baking powder.
  • The yogurt sauce is best prepared fresh and served immediately.
