Why Potato Pancakes Need Applesauce

Potato pancakes or latkes are oily foods that need a type of sauce (like applesauce) that can conceal their oiliness. Applesauce is fruity and light, and when eaten with latkes, it creates an irresistible savory and sweet flavor.

The sauce also has low cholesterol levels with nutrients like potassium, vitamin C, and fiber. You can also try pairing latkes with sour cream, a classic combo but also one with a richer and heavier flavor.

Why Beef Brisket Recipes Are Great with Latkes

The combination of beef and potato alone already gives a down-home feeling of comfort. Their contrasting textures also hit your taste buds in an interesting way, but there is more to it than that.

A study found that the relationship between potatoes and meat extends beyond the taste buds. Rats that consumed meat with fermentable carbs present in potatoes experienced an improvement in the overall bowel health.

Researchers also suggested that consuming cooked red meat and potatoes allows your body to produce more good bacteria in the gut compared to eating meat alone.

What You’ll Get from Beef Brisket

Beef is naturally rich in nutrients, and brisket is full of the following:

  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin B6
  • Iron
  • Cobalamin
  • Protein
  • Potassium
  • Sodium

Protein, for example, is a macronutrient that is an essential component of the body’s cells. The human body utilizes protein to make hair and nails, create and repair tissues, and produce hormones, enzymes, and other chemicals.

One popular health benefit of protein is its ability to increase muscle strength and mass. For people who lift weights to gain more muscle, eating a high-protein diet is best.

Iron is mostly present in red blood cells and primarily functions to form hemoglobin. More hemoglobin in the body means more efficient transport of oxygen in the blood.

Increasing iron intake through a diet is helpful when there is injury, as the condition makes you lose more blood. Women should eat more iron-rich foods like beef because they are more prone to losing the nutrient as they go through their monthly menstrual periods.

Potassium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and stimulates neural activity as it helps maintain normal brain function. High amounts of potassium let more oxygen in the brain, raising cognitive function.

It also helps stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of unpredictable spikes. People with diabetes need more of this nutrient to regulate their blood sugar levels.

Magnesium is a macromineral beneficial to the bones, both directly and indirectly. It aids in regulating vitamin D and calcium in the body, which play a role in keeping bones healthy.

The nutrient is also important for managing diabetes as it contributes to insulin metabolism and blood sugar control.
