Happy Hanukkah! I like this recipe ~a latke~ š¤Ŗ and topping it with apple sauce takes it to the next level! We did half yams and half sweet potatoes and Iām not entirely sure what the difference is but I know I like it.
Iām on team apple sauce for my latkes š how do you top yours?
<Makes 24 latkes>
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes and 2 yams
- 7 eggs
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 tsp bread crumbs
- 3 tbsp salt
- A lot of oil
- Apple sauce to serve
Process
Wash the potatoes and yams. If you do not have a food processor, use a grater to shred them. If you do have a food processor, slice the potatoes and yams into sizes that will fit in the food processor. Put the shredded potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
Crack 7 eggs in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the shredded potatoes. Add bread crumbs, salt, and minced garlic. Mix together.
In a large cast iron pan, add a deep layer of oil. Stick a chopstick or a piece of wood in the oil-- if it bubbles, it's ready. In your hands put the shredded potatoes in your hand and squish it together, and flatten it. Add the latke into the oil and let it fry for 3 minutes on each side.
When ready, put the fried latkes on a paper towel to soak up extra oil.
Serve immediately, or keep it in a warmed oven at 200 degrees to serve warm.
I'm team apple sauce all the way, but feel free to eat with sour cream. To each their own! Happy Hanukkah :)
