Another take on this favorite Hanukkah tradition. This recipe is posted for the World Tour 2005 RecipeZaar event. I haven't had a chance to try these yet, but know I will enjoy them. The source is The Hadassah Jewish Holiday Cookbook - Traditional Recipes from Contemporary Kosher Kitchens. This particular recipe was contributed by Abe Koblin, Dayan Group, Baltimore Hadassah.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean, scrape, and grate carrots. Transfer to a large sieve, and press against them to drain any liquid. Allow to drain for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. 2
    Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add drained carrots, the finely chopped scallion, garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Mix, and add enough matza meal so that the mixture is pretty firm when shaped into a pancake.
  3. 3
    Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Using about 2 tablespoons of the carrots mixture for each, drop the latkes into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  4. 4
    Serve, garnishing with sour cream and chopped scallions.

    What a find! Being a diabetic prevents me from having potato latkes. These hit the spot. We added more scallion and garlic and baked them as per other reviewers.

    What a fun way to sneak another vegetable onto the supper table. Since we wanted these both savory (sour cream & scallions) and sweet (sour cream & applesauce), I replaced the scallion with a few teaspoons of finely chopped shallots. (For the applesauce, I used Cardamom Applesauce Cardamom Applesauce). I also used the baked latke method (see baked latkes Baked Latkes) with a total baking time of 22 minutes. Just yummy. Thanks PanNan.

    Thank you for posting this recipe, PanNan. I hadn’t made carrot latkes before, but when I read through the ingredients this recipe really appealed to me, and I was not disappointed. I made the latkes with some deliciously sweet baby carrots, and I added 4 cloves of garlic, minced, instead of the ½ clove. Next time I make these, I’ll probably double the garlic. I didn’t have any matzo meal on hand, so I used wheat germ, which worked out fine. In order to reduce the fat content, I followed chia’s instructions – for baked latkes Baked Latkes – and baked the latkes in the oven. And then everyone enjoyed them with sour cream – also reduced fat. Absolutely delicious! I’ve been asked to make them again.
