Butternut Squash and Sage Latkes with Maple Mascarpone
Ingredients
  • 1 pound medium butternut squash, trimmed, peeled, and shredded coarsely in a food processor
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and shredded coarsley in a food processor
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoon fresh sage, chiffonade
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup mascarpone
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
  1. Squeeze the squash and potatoes in paper towels to remove extra water. Then, combine the shredded squash, potatoes, cornstarch, onion, sage, and seasonings into a medium bowl. Stir to mix. Then add the eggs. Form little pancakes, and set aside. Heat just enough oil to coat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Then add the latkes. Cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for a 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan, and set aside on paper towels while you mix the maple mascarpone.
  2. Combine the ingredients until evenly mixed. Serve latkes with a dollop of mascarpone on top.
