-
Heat about 1/2 inch of your favorite frying oil in a skillet (or two for efficiency) over medium-high heat.
-
Combine the grated vegetables in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs, stir to combine, then stir in the flour and salt and pepper to taste. Don't over work them.
-
The oil is ready when it sizzles at the addition of a small amount of the beet mixture. When it is ready, drop medium size clumps of the mixture into the oil and flatten with a spoon.
-
Fry for several minutes on each side until browned, flipping only once. You are looking for a nice crispy brown. Place the finished latkes on a plate covered with a paper towel to remove excess oil, and transfer to a low oven to keep warm until serving.
-
Serve warm with sour cream and homemade applesauce.
