Hanukkah begins on Wednesday, and one of the holiday’s traditional foods is the latke, a crispy pancake usually made from potatoes.
While most latkes feature white potatoes, sweet potatoes are the stars of today’s recipe. Serve them with the traditional accompaniments: applesauce or sour cream.
All of the ingredients can be found at your local natural and organic food store.
Combine sweet potatoes, eggs, onions, flour, salt and pepper in large bowl.
Pour oil to 1/4-inch depth in a skillet. Heat over medium heat until hot. Measure 2 tablespoons potato mixture for each latke. Flatten in palm of hand. Place in oil and flatten again by pressing with large spatula.
Cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels.
