Sweet Potato-Apple Latkes

By á-174535

These latkes are sweeter than traditional potato latkes, but they're still the same crispy Hanukkah treat best served with applesauce and crème fraîche, so enjoy this twist on the classic at your next holiday gathering.

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
• 2 small tart apples, peeled
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch freshly ground pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• canola oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, shred sweet potatoes and apples (in this order to keep apples from oxidizing) by rubbing them across the large holes of a hand or box grater; lightly blot excess moisture with paper towel. Stir in all remaining ingredients except oil until blended.

In large skillet, heat 1/4-inch oil over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until hot (exact oil amount needed will vary depending on the size of your skillet). Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into hot oil, flattening batter to form 2 to 3-inch pancakes. Fry 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and edges are bubbly. Drain on paper towels placed on a plate; serve hot.
