To Create Crisp, Nutritious Latkes from Any Root Vegetable, Think Outside the Box
For many of us, latkes evoke images of crispy potato cakes, often served with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce. But why limit yourself to just potatoes? According to this creative chef, almost any root vegetable can be transformed into a delicious and nutritious latke.
With as little as 25-50g of grated root vegetables – think beetroot, celeriac, turnip, or parsnips – you can create these tasty breakfast treats. To make them extra special, add some ground linseeds or flax for an omega-3 boost. The result is a crispy exterior and a satisfying interior that's packed with nutrients.
While traditional latkes are often made with just potatoes, this chef swears by the versatility of root vegetables. For a colorful twist, separate the grated veggies into different bowls before mixing them together – or simply combine all your favorites for a delicious multicolored latke. Top it off with fresh herbs like parsley or coriander for added flavor and visual appeal.
This recipe is a game-changer for anyone looking to reduce food waste and get creative in the kitchen. Simply grate your chosen root vegetables, squeeze out excess moisture, mix with flour and linseeds, shape into patties, and fry until crispy.
When it comes to serving, the possibilities are endless. Try pairing your latkes with a poached egg for added protein, some sauerkraut for its tangy flavor, or a dollop of apple compote and soya yoghurt for a sweet and satisfying contrast.
Whether you're a seasoned chef or an adventurous foodie, this recipe is sure to inspire you to think outside the box (or crisper drawer) when it comes to root vegetables. So why not give it a try?

I'm totally against trying new things in the kitchen. Who needs to experiment with different veggies and flavors when classic potato latkes are already perfect just the way they are? Adding some extra stuff like linseeds or herbs is just gonna mess up the simplicity of the dish 
. And don't even get me started on serving it with weird toppings like a poached egg and sauerkraut... that's just too much 
. Stick to what you know, folks! 
using different root veggies sounds like such a great way to mix things up and reduce food waste. i've been eyeing some celeriac at the store lately, this might just be the perfect excuse to get creative with it 
. adding linseeds or flax for extra nutrition is genius too! can't wait to see what other delicious combinations come out of this recipe 
! I mean, who says potatoes have to be the only option? Beetroot or parsnips would add such amazing flavor and color to the dish 
. And the addition of linseeds for an omega-3 boost is genius 
. It's also super cool that you can mix and match different veggies to create a multicolored latke - it's like a fun little science experiment in your kitchen 
. I'm definitely gonna try this out and see what other crazy combinations I can come up with 
. Food waste is such a thing, so I love that this recipe helps reduce that too.
