YUKON GOLD POTATO AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE LATKES WITH APPLE-HORSERADISH MAYONNAISE AND TARAMASALATA

Steps:

• Make the apple-horseradish mayonnaise:
• In a medium bowl, stir together the horseradish, applesauce, vinegar, mustard, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: The sauce can be made and stored, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, up to 3 days.
• Make the latkes:
• Line a large bowl with a clean cloth napkin or lint-free kitchen towel.
• Working in batches, use the larger side of a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grater attachment to coarsely grate the potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, and onion. As they're grated, transfer the vegetables to the towel-lined bowl. Gather the corners of the towel and wring as much excess liquid as possible from the vegetables. Transfer the wrung vegetables to a dry mixing bowl. Add the egg and parsley and stir to combine. While stirring the mixture, gradually add the flour, stirring well to incorporate.
• Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a large sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat 1/4 inch of oil until hot but not smoking. Test the latke batter by frying a small amount of batter in the hot oil-it should hold together and not fall apart when flipped. If necessary, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, but try to add as little flour as possible to create light latkes.
• Working in batches, drop 2-tablespoon-size dollops of batter into the hot oil and use the back of a spoon to press the batter into 1 1/2-inch diameter pancakes. Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the latkes and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes. As they finish cooking, transfer the latkes to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
• To serve:
• Arrange the latkes on a large plate or platter and top half with apple-horseradish mayonnaise and half with taramasalata. Sprinkle with minced chives and serve immediately.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Unfortunately, there's no way to unmush them. For now, you'll just have to make either mashed Jerusalem artichokes (just like you make mashed potatoes) or cream of Jerusalem artichoke soup (blend with some broth and cream). Next time, watch your chokes very closely, since they can turn mushy in the blink of an eye.
• If the color bothers you, make them into soup or cover them with sauce. They do discolor quickly, so next time, cook or eat them immediately after cutting. If you want to prepare them in advance or eat them raw but not immediately, either toss them with an acidic dressing or soak them in acidulated water (water with lemon juice or vinegar in it). And don't cook them in an aluminum or iron pan, as both can cause discoloration.
