Yukon Gold Potato and Jerusalem Artichoke Latkes with Apple-Horseradish Mayonnaise and Taramasalata

Ingredients for Yukon Gold Potato and Jerusalem Artichoke Latkes with Apple-Horseradish Mayonnaise and Taramasalata

• 1 (2-inch) piece fresh horseradish root, peeled and finely grated

• 120ml unsweetened applesauce

• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon Pommery or Dijon mustard

• 150g mayonnaise

• 1.4kg Yukon gold potatoes, peeled

• 450g Jerusalem artichokes, thoroughly washed

• 1 large yellow onion, peeled

• 3 large eggs, beaten

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

• 1/4 cup plain flour, plus more as needed

• About 350ml vegetable oil for frying

• 1 (400g) jar taramasalata*

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

• *Taramasalata is Greek carp roe mayonnaise, and is available at Middle Eastern and Mediterranean markets. Chef Todd Aarons recommends Krinos brand.

• Large baking sheet

In a medium bowl, stir together the horseradish, applesauce, vinegar, mustard, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: The sauce can be made and stored, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 3 days.

Line a large bowl with a clean cloth napkin or lint-free kitchen towel.

Working in batches, use the larger side of a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grater attachment to coarsely grate the potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, and onion. As they're grated, transfer the vegetables to the towel-lined bowl. Gather the corners of the towel and wring as much excess liquid as possible from the vegetables. Transfer the wrung vegetables to a dry mixing bowl. Add the egg and parsley and stir to combine. While stirring the mixture, gradually add the flour, stirring well to incorporate.

Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.

In a large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat 1/4 inch of oil until hot but not smoking. Test the latke batter by frying a small amount of batter in the hot oil—it should hold together and not fall apart when flipped. If necessary, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, but try to add as little flour as possible to create light latkes.

Working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon-size dollops of batter into the hot oil and use the back of a spoon to press the batter into 1 1/2-inch diameter pancakes. Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the latkes and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes. As they finish cooking, transfer the latkes to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet.

Arrange the latkes on a large plate or platter and top half with apple-horseradish mayonnaise and half with taramasalata. Sprinkle with minced chives and serve immediately.
