Potato-Parsnip Latkes

Ingredients

1 10-oz.

Place potato, parsnip, and leek on towel.

Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and toss.

Transfer potato mixture to a large bowl.

Add 1/4 inch oil to a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet.

Heat over medium-high until oil is hot.

(Test by dropping in a bit of batter; it should sizzle but not burn.)

Shape batter into 12 (3-inch) patties.

Working in batches, carefully place patties in skillet and flatten gently with a spatula.

Cook until crispy and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

(Reduce heat as needed to prevent overbrowning.)
