Sweet Potato Latkes: A Delicious Hanukkah Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and grated
• 0.5 onion, grated
• 2 eggs eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, or more if needed
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with paper towels to drain the latkes.
2. In a bowl, prepare lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the salted water, then drain thoroughly in a sieve. Using a cloth or paper towels, pat the grated sweet potato dry to remove excess moisture, then transfer it to a mixing bowl. Squeeze any excess moisture from the grated onion and add it to the bowl with the sweet potato. Incorporate the eggs and pepper into the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
3. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. For each latke, spoon approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the hot oil, forming patties. Use a fork to gently flatten the patties. Fry until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the latkes and cook the other side, then sprinkle with salt. Place the cooked latkes on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining latkes. Be sure to stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt for the perfect sweet and savory combination.
