Ingredients

1 (8-10 ounce) large russet baking potato
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound (2 medium) parsnips, peeled and coarsely grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

  2. Peel potato and coarsely grate into a bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to combine.

  3. Place potato on a thin (fine-weaved) kitchen towel, corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible.

  5. Heat oil in a 12 inch non-stick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.

  6. Fill a 1/4 cup measure full with latke mixture and carefully spoon into skillet.

  7. While in skillet, flatten with slotted spatula to 3 inches in diameter.

  8. Form 3 more latkes in skillet, then cook until golden (about 1 1/2 minutes per side).

  9. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.

  10. Keep warm on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven.

  11. Continue cooking latkes in batches of four.

  12. Very good accompanied with applesauce and/or sour cream.
