Sweet and Russet Potato Latkes
Yield: Makes 8 (2-latke) servings
Traditional latkes become contemporary and colorful with the addition of sweet potato, apple and nutmeg. For maximum color and fiber, leave the peel on the apple.
Ingredients:
2
cups shredded russet potatoes
1
cup shredded sweet potato
3/4
cup cholesterol-free egg substitute
1/3
cup all-purpose flour
1/4
teaspoon baking powder
1/8
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1
cup unsweetened cinnamon applesauce
Preparation:
1.
Combine potatoes and apple in medium bowl. Combine egg substitute, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in small bowl; add to potato mixture.
2.
Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-low heat until hot. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoonful potato mixture into skillet to form pancake about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.* Cook 3 minutes or until browned. Turn latke and cook second side 3 minutes or until browned. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep cooked latkes warm in preheated 250°F oven.
*Three to four latkes can be cooked at one time.
