Description

Latkes are usually served at Hanukkah time and are made with white potatoes. These instead use sweet potatoes to increase the nutrition and flavor, and they’re so good that I encourage you to eat them all year long.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sweet potatoes, shredded
  • 2 parsnips, shredded
  • ½ white onion, minced
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca starch
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Topping #1:

  • 1 dollop plain goat milk yogurt
  • green onions, chopped

Topping #2:

  • 1 dollop plain coconut yogurt
  • raw honey
  • cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients, except the green onions and reserved butter, in a food processor and blend on high until well combined.
  2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium pan over medium heat.
  3. Form batter into little balls and then flatten them into about a 3-inch disc.
  4. Add two or three latkes to the pan, pressing them down with a spatula.
  5. Fry for 5–7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  6. Top with one of the two toppings and enjoy!
