Ingredients

  • 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Olive Oil, as needed
  • 2 cups Potato
  • 2 cups Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 cup Leek
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • Frying Oil, as needed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix until smooth and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Step 2: Wrap the potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. In a large bowl, mix the squeezed potatoes with chopped Brussels sprouts, chopped leek, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the eggs and all-purpose flour until the mixture holds together but is not too wet.
  4. Step 4: Pour frying oil into a large sauté pan to cover about 1/4-inch and heat over medium. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of potato in; it should sizzle immediately when ready.
  5. Step 5: Working in batches, scoop a golf ball-sized amount of the mixture into the hot oil. Use a spatula to gently flatten each dollop into a patty. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Step 6: Serve the latkes warm, topped with a dollop of the Dijon yogurt sauce. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, make sure to remove as much moisture as possible from the potatoes before mixing.
  • You can substitute leeks with finely chopped green onions or shallots for a different but complementary flavor.
  • If you prefer, swap the Greek yogurt sauce for sour cream or add fresh herbs like dill or chives to brighten the sauce.

Storage

Store leftover latkes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to preserve crispiness or in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Fresh Brussels sprouts are best for texture and flavor, but if using frozen, thaw and drain them well before mixing to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

Is there a gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour here?

Yes, you can replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blends or almond flour, though the texture might be slightly different. You may need to adjust the amount to achieve the right consistency.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dijon Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Olive Oil, as needed (to adjust consistency)

For the Latkes

  • 2 cup grated Potato
  • 2 cup shredded Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 cup chopped Leek
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • Frying Oil, as needed (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dijon Yogurt Sauce: In a bowl, combine 1 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt, 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard, 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup, salt and ground black pepper to taste, and olive oil as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency. Mix well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Remove Potato Moisture: Wrap the 2 cups grated potato in a clean towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is essential to achieve crispy latkes.
  3. Mix Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts, 1 cup chopped leek, juice of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Add Binding Ingredients: Stir in 4 eggs and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour into the vegetable mixture until well combined. This mixture forms the batter for the latkes.
  5. Heat Frying Oil: Pour frying oil into a large sauté pan to cover about 1/4-inch depth. Heat over medium heat. To test readiness, drop a small piece of potato into the oil; it should sizzle immediately when the oil is hot enough.
  6. Fry Latkes: Working in batches, scoop a golf ball-sized dollop of the latke batter and carefully place it into the hot oil. Use a spatula to gently flatten each dollop into a patty shape. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Once done, transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve: Serve the latkes warm, topped with a generous dollop of the prepared Dijon Yogurt Sauce. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Removing excess moisture from the potatoes is critical to prevent soggy latkes and ensure crispiness.
  • You can adjust the consistency of the yogurt sauce by adding more olive oil or maple syrup according to taste and texture preference.
  • Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point for frying, such as canola or vegetable oil, for best results.
  • These latkes are best served immediately to maintain their crispiness but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crisp texture.
