Sweet potato latkes – Vegan
About:
Latkes are potato pancakes that are traditionally fried in oil. “I love the challenge of taking a traditional dish and tweaking it in such a way that you arrive at something new and different”
Health Benefits:
Sweet potato, not only is just sweet to your taste buds but also good for your cardiovascular health! It is an edible, underground tuber initially cultivated in the Central American region. This crunchy, starch root vegetable is rich source of flavonoid anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that are essential for optimal health.
I served these latkes with soy ginger sauce (recipe link)
Yields-10-12
Preparation time-15 minutes
Cooking time-7-8 minutes per batch (I cooked 4 latkes at a time)
Ingredients:
- Sweet potoato-2 medium

Procedure:

- Heat a skillet grease some oil and take a heap of mixture and press between the palms as desire and place it on the skillet and make similar patties 3-4 depending on the size of the skillet .
