Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and shredded
- 1 medium yellow onion, grated
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 pieces large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- optional sour cream or applesauce, for serving
Instructions
Peel and shred the butternut squash using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Grate the onion and squeeze out the extra liquid. Add the onion to the bowl with the shredded butternut squash.
Add the flour, eggs, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the squash mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the squash mixture and shape it into a small patty. Carefully place the patty into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the latkes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Drain the cooked latkes on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce, if desired.
