step 1

ingredients 1/2 pound Celeriac (peeled and grated)
2 pounds Russet Potatoes (peeled and grated)
1/2 cup grated White Onion
2 Eggs
Salt and Pepper to taste

instructions Mix together the celeriac, potato, onion and egg whites. Season with salt and pepper.
step 2

ingredients 3 tablespoons Olive Oil

instructions In a saute pan over medium high heat, add about 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture and flatten into a pancake (about 3 inches in diameter) in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches, adding more oil to the pan when necessary.
step 3

ingredients 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Granny Smith Apples (sliced thinly)
2 teaspoons Celery Seed

instructions In another pan over medium high heat, add another 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, toss in the apples, season with the celery seed, salt and pepper. Toss to coat in oil and let sit in the pan. Let caramelize slightly. Only cook for 2-3 minutes, so there is still a bite to the apples.
step 4

ingredients 3 tablespoons Mascarpone

instructions Top each latke with a bit of the sauteed apples and a dollop of mascarpone.
