Golden, crispy, and full of flavor, this recipe brings a subtle sweetness to the traditional favorite. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings for a comforting dish everyone will love.

Ingredients:

- 2 large eggs, whisked
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 lb. russet potatoes, peeled
- 3/4 lb. parsnips, peeled
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 cup matzo meal
- 12 Tbsp. canola oil, for frying
- Sour cream and applesauce, for serving

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250°F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Place eggs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Grate potatoes, parsnips, and onion with a food processor or box grater. Add vegetables and matzo meal to eggs and toss to combine.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 4 (1/4-cup) spoonfuls of potato mixture into skillet; flatten to create even pancakes. Cook, turning once, until browned, 8 to 12 minutes; transfer to prepared baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to skillet as needed (when getting near the end of the potato mixture, strain and discard any liquid at bottom of the bowl).
Serve with sour cream and applesauce alongside.
