I made these because I was interested in cooking with sunchokes- a first for me. The latkes came together rather easily and were tasty. They didn't knock my socks off, but I'd make them again if I found myself with sunchokes on hand!
Sunchoke Latkes
Tina Cornett; Melanie J. Clarke
Use the shredder blade of a food processor to quickly shred the artichokes, potato, and carrot. Cook the latkes soon after combining the ingredients so the mixture does not become watery; if this happens, though, remove the mixture from the liquid using a slotted spoon.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 latkes and 1 tablespoon sour cream)
