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

1
cup shredded apple

3/4
cup cholesterol-free egg substitute

1/3
cup all-purpose flour

1
teaspoon sugar

1/4
teaspoon baking powder

1/4
teaspoon salt

1/8
teaspoon ground nutmeg

Nonstick cooking spray

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.
