Ingredients
- 1 medium russet potato peeled and grated
- 1 small yellow onion grated
- 1 large carrot grated
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon coriander
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt for garnish (optional)
- Mango chutney for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Strain the grated vegetables in a colander over the sink, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the egg, salt, and spices. Add the grated vegetables and stir to combine.
-
Working in batches, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, gently drop 2-tablespoon mounds of potato mixture into the skillet, pressing gently to flatten. Fry the latkes until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven. Garnish and serve.
