Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 24 latkes

Ingredients
  

For the mushroom latkes

  • 12 large large potatoes grated
  • 3 medium onions grated
  • 1 lb oyster muchrooms sliced
  • 2 tsp porcini powder
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 5 tbsp Wondra flour
  • 3 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • oil for deep frying
  • 6 ounces dried porcini mushrooms soaked in cold water for 30 minutes for the porcini mushroom sauce
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 7 cups heavy cream
  • 12 ounces Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 /1/2 tsp white truffle oil
  • freshly ground black pepper

For the cranberry apple sauce

  • 4 Granny smith apples peeled, cored and cut in to 1/2 inch dice
  • 1 1/2 cups whole cranberries
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 large strips lemon zest peeled with vegetable peeler
  • 8 tbsp sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Slice the oyster mushrooms into very fine strips, coat with Wondra flour and fry.

For the mushroom latkes

  • Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and squeeze the liquid out of the mixture. Do the same for the grated onions. Combine all the ingredients (including the fried mushrooms) and mix together well by hand.
  • In a heavy skillet, put a 3/4" deep layer of olive oil and duck fat (just add more oil if you don’t use the duck fat) and heat until sizzling.
  • Form individual pancakes by hand and carefully slide into the pan using a slotted spatula. Fill the pan, but leave room between the pancakes.
  • When the latkes are nicely browned on one side, turn carefully and cook until browned on the other side and crisp on the edges.
  • Remove with a spatula and place on paper towels.

For the porcini sauce

  • After soaking the mushrooms, drain them, squeezing to remove all the water.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms, add the cream and bring to a boil; add the cheese, simmer until reduced by about ½.
  • Stir in truffle oil, season with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to use.

For the cranberry apple sauce

  • Heat the clarified butter in a heavy saucepan, add the apples, cranberries, sugar, apple juice, cinnamon sticks and lemon zest over moderate heat, stirring, for 15 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick and the zest. Serve the applesauce warm or chilled.
