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. 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.
