Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Carrots
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the carrots and grate them finely using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Grate the small onion and add it to the bowl with the grated carrots. Mix well to combine.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, and then add them to the carrot and onion mixture.
Sprinkle in the flour, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture holds together well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
For each latke, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten it slightly between your hands to form a patty. Carefully place it in the hot oil.
Cook the latkes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches, if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish the latkes with fresh parsley and serve warm. They pair wonderfully with sour cream or applesauce.
