Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4-5 green-yellow plantains peeled
- 1 large onion peeled
- 4 tablespoons cassava flour or matza meal
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
Lime crema:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 lime zest and juice of
Instructions
- Grate the 6 plantains and the onion in a food processor, or on the largest holes in a grater.
- Strain the liquid in a large strainer, and pat with paper towels until fully dried.
- In a medium bowl, whisk all the eggs together. Add the grated plantain mixture and onions. Stir with a spatula until fully combined.
- Add flour (or matza meal), baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large pan set to medium heat. Drop about 1 tablespoon of mixture onto the pan to form each plantain latke. Use a spatula to gently press the latke down on the skillet. Fry latkes in oil on one side until they start to crisp around the edges, about 2-3 minutes. Turn over to the other side, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Transfer onto a paper-towel lined plate until all plantain latkes have been fried.
Make Lime Crema:
- In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and the zest and juice of 1 lime, my favorite Latin flavors!
- Serve plantain latkes with Lime Crema, Colombian aji or pico de gallo.
