Delicious Beetroot Latkes Recipe - Authentic Ukrainian Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups grated beetroot
  • 1 cup grated potato
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Grate the beetroot, potato, and onion using a box grater or food processor.

    Wear gloves when handling beetroot to avoid staining your hands.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine grated beetroot, potato, onion, beaten egg, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Make sure the mixture is not too wet; you can add more flour if necessary.
  3. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

    Test the oil by dropping a small amount of the mixture in; it should sizzle.
  4. Fry the Latkes

    Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and flatten it slightly before placing it in the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
  5. Serve

    Remove the latkes and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sour cream and garnish with fresh dill.

    Enjoy with applesauce for a traditional touch!
