These apple and potato latkes (or fritters... whichever you prefer) can be cooked in a stovetop skillet OR in the air fryer! Cosmic Crisp apples are perfect for cooking, which is why they make a delicious addition to a classic recipe. Served with honey mustard for a dippable snack!
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
- Grate your apple (core removed), then squeeze out excess juice with paper towels or cheesecloth.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, grated potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, spices, and 1 tablespoon of the honey mustard.
- 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 on each side until they're golden brown. Set the finished ones aside. Between batches, add in more oil if necessary. Makes ~ 18-20.
Air fryer
- (this method uses no oil, only a bit of cooking spray!
- Add extra ¼ cup breadcrumbs (for a total of ½ cup)
- Add extra 1 tablespoon vegan honey mustard (for a total of 2 tablespoons)
- Roll the mixture into balls instead of patties because you can fit more into the air fryer!
- Cook at 360 degrees for 15 minutes for each batch.
