The Perfect Pair Potato Pancakes (Latkes)
The Perfect Pair Potato Pancakes (Latkes)
Description
Latkes, or potato pancakes, are a food traditionally served during Hanukkah. These tasty fritters translate to “little oily thing” and are typically fried in chicken schmaltz. This updated recipe uses a duo of sweet potatoes and russet potatoes. Quickly sautéing in minimal oil and then finishing them off in the oven or air-fryer mimics the fried essence of the traditional latke.
Have your family help by rolling up their sleeves to mix and form the patties. We hope these healthy-ish latkes become a family favorite during the holidays.
