Delicious Beetroot Latkes Recipe - Authentic Ukrainian Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups grated beetroot
  • 1 cup grated potato
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

4 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine grated beetroot, grated potato, chopped onion, flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the grated vegetables.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

    Test the oil by dropping a small amount of the mixture; it should sizzle.
  3. Fry the Latkes

    Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening gently. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

    Don't overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
  4. Drain and Serve

    Remove the latkes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with fresh dill and a dollop of sour cream.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.

For extra flavor, add garlic to the mixture. Use a food processor for quick grating. Serve with applesauce for a sweet contrast.
