Potato and Parsnip Latkes

• 2 medium russet potatoes, about 1 1/2-pounds, peeled and shredded
• 2 cups shredded parsnip, packed
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup matzo meal
• 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons canola or grape seed oil
• 1 teaspoon large flake sea salt

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine potato, parsnip, egg, matzo meal, thyme and garlic powder. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter and carefully place in oil. Flatten to about 1/2-inch thick with a spatula. Repeat to form 4 more latkes in your pan, being careful not to crowd the pan and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook 4 to 6 minutes more or until golden brown on both sides.
3. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining batter.
4. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
