Baking root vegetable latkes?
I've baked potato latkes before, and although they were not as crispy than their fried counterpart, I still found the texture to have a suitable crunch. I am nervous that because of the higher water content of root vegetables like parsnips and carrots, baking rather than frying could prevent crisping. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am going to salt & ring out the shredded veggies in advance, but I'm not sure if this is enough. Thanks Food52 members!!!

added 7 months agoRinging out the water is very important. I would also bake at 425 or 450 depending on how thick your latkes are.
Also...if you have a baking stone...that will help crisp up the latkes

added 7 months agoHave your pan in the oven heating to the oven's temperature. Then add your fat/oil of choice. When all is superhot, add yor dollops/mixture. This way, although you are "baking," you mimic "sauteeeing/frying" in that your heat source is truly hot. Waiting for these 3 things to get to the same temperature might result in a less crispy crisp.
