• Peel and grate the onions.
• Add both grated mixture to a fine mesh strainer lined with a cheese cloth if you have, and strain as much excess water out as possible.

• Add in the eggs, arrowroot flour/starch, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Place 1/2 cup of oil into a large pan and heat the oil on medium-high heat.
• Once oil is hot, make patties out of the potato mixture (squeeze out even more excess liquid as you make patties) and pan-fry until brown on both sides. Should take about 3-4 minutes on each side but watch closely to avoid burning. Add more oil as needed.
• Serve with applesauce or sour cream and enjoy!

RED FLANNEL POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Using shredding holes on a hand-held grater or shredding disk on a food processor, shred potatoes, beet, celery root and onion. Squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible, and place shreds in a large bowl. Add egg, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
• Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add a generous film of vegetable oil. Take a handful of potato mixture and press into a flat disk in palm of one hand. Gently place in hot skillet. Repeat until skillet is filled. Fry, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes a side. (Adjust heat as necessary so the latkes do not burn.) Transfer to paper towels to drain; keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.

CELERY ROOT-PARSNIP LATKES

Steps:

• Place grated celery root, parsnips and onion in a large bowl. Sprinkle in matzo meal and toss mixture together with your hands. Add parsley, eggs, salt and pepper and combine again using your hands until ingredients are incorporated.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high. Take a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and flatten between your palms. Fry latkes, without moving them, for 4 to 5 minutes, checking that they don't over-brown. (You should be able to fry them in batches of 11 to 12, depending on pan size.) Flip latkes, turn heat down to medium-low and fry another 4 minutes, or until well browned and tender. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt. Serve warm.

CELERY-ROOT AND POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 250°F.
• Coarsely grate celery root into a bowl using the 1/3-inch-wide holes of a box grater.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate into a large bowl. Add lemon juice and toss. Coarsely grate onions into same bowl.
• Transfer to towel, then gather up corners to form a sack and twist tightly to wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Return potatoes and onions to cleaned bowl and stir in celery root, flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and celery seeds until combined well.
• Heat 1/3 inch oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Fill a 1/4-cup measure (not tightly packed) with latke mixture and carefully spoon it into skillet, then flatten to 3 inches in diameter with a slotted spatula. Form 3 more latkes in skillet, then fry until undersides are deep golden, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn over using 2 spatulas and fry until deep golden all over, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more. (If latkes brown too quickly, lower heat to moderate.) Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Keep warm in 1 layer on a metal rack set in a shallow baking pan in oven. Make more latkes in same manner. Use a second rack and baking pan to keep last batches warm.
