Ingredients

2
large eggs
Kosher salt
Pepper
1 1/4 lb.
russet potatoes (about 2), peeled
3/4 lb.
parsnips (about 3), peeled
1
large onion
1/2 cup
matzo meal
Olive or canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 Tbsp.

fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp.

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 250°F. Fit wire rack into large rimmed baking sheet. Make latkes: In large bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
2. Step 2 In food processor fitted with large grating disk, grate potatoes, parsnips, and onion (or use large holes of box grater). Add to bowl with eggs and toss to combine. Add matzo meal and mix to combine.
3. Step 3Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet on medium. Gently drop 4 large spoonfuls potato mixture into skillet (about 1/4 cup each). Spread out to create even pancakes and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side; transfer to prepared baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
4. Step 4Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to skillet as necessary (when getting near end of potato mixture, strain and discard any liquid at bottom of bowl). Makes about 21 latkes.
5. Step 5Make apples: Melt butter in large skillet. Stir in apples, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and cook until lightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes more. Toss with cider vinegar and remove from heat.
6. Step 6Serve latkes with apples and sour cream if desired.
