Cosmic Crisp Potato Latkes

Skill level: Easy

These apple potato patties (latkes) combine grated potatoes with apples for a balanced mix of textures and flavors. As they cook, the outside becomes golden and crisp while the inside stays soft and tender. Finished with simple seasoning and served with honey mustard, this recipe works well as a side, snack, or light meal, with both stovetop and air fryer options for easy preparation.

Golden apple potato patties with a crisp exterior and soft center

Ingredients

  • 1 Cosmic Crisp apple, grated and juice squeezed out
  • 1 pound 8 ounces of medley potatoes (4 cups grated)
  • 1 egg or flax egg (mix 1 tablespoon flax + 3 Tbsp warm water and refrigerate for 15 min before using)
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard (plus more for serving)
  • Olive oil for cooking

Directions

Stovetop

  1. Grate your apple (core removed), then squeeze out excess juice with paper towels or cheesecloth.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, grated potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, spices, and 1 tablespoon of the honey mustard.
  3. Preheat a frying pan on the stovetop, then form patties with your hand, approximately 2.5 - 3 inches wide (and flattened). Fry a few at a time for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Set the finished ones aside. Between batches, add in more oil if necessary. Makes ~ 18-20.

Air fryer

  1. This method uses no oil, only a bit of cooking spray!
  2. Add an extra ¼ cup of breadcrumbs (for a total of ½ cup)
  3. Add an extra 1 tablespoon of vegan honey mustard (for a total of 2 tablespoons)
  4. Roll the mixture into balls instead of patties because you can fit more into the air fryer!
  5. Cook at 360 degrees for 15 minutes for each batch.
