Sweet Potato Zucchini Latkes Recipes

SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again.
• In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.
• Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot!

KERRY'S SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.

SWEET-POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, spoon 1/8 cup potato mixture per latke into oil and flatten to 3-inch diameter with a slotted spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.

SWEET POTATO ZUCCHINI LATKES

Steps:

• Combine Zucchini, sweet potato and egg in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl mix coconut flour and spices.
• Add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir until fully combined.
• Heat the butter and coconut oil in a medium pan.
• Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions and drop into the pan pressing down until about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cook on medium heat until golden and crisp then flip carefully and cook the other side.
• Remove and season with salt & pepper to taste.

SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, sweet potato, parsley, onion, eggs, flour, corn flakes, salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick pan and add 4 tablespoons of oil. Carefully drop tablespoons of batter into the pan. Fry the latkes, turning when crisp. Oil may be added to pan in small amounts as needed when frying. Put on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE LATKES

Steps:

• For the candied pecans: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast, while stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove the pecans from the pan and set aside.
• Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, 2 1/4 teaspoons water and cayenne, if using, to the saucepan. Simmer over medium, stirring, for about 1 minute or until the sugar is melted, all the ingredients are combined and the sauce is thick. Add the pecans back into the saucepan and stir to coat evenly.
• Spread the coated pecans evenly on the baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. You can make these up to 5 days ahead of time and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
• For the latkes: Now, latke time! Peel and shred the sweet potatoes one at a time using the large holes of a box grater or with a food processor into a large bowl. Dry the shredded potatoes very well with a towel, squeezing out all the moisture. Dry potatoes lead to crunchier latkes! Add the eggs, potato starch, salt and cinnamon to the sweet potatoes and mix to combine. You can use a large spoon or your hands.
• Set up a cooling rack over paper towels near your stovetop.
• Heat up a large pan over medium-high heat and add canola oil. You want enough oil to come up slightly on the sides of your latkes. When it's ready, the oil will sizzle when you add a tiny bit of potato batter. Pro tip: Add a small piece of carrot to your frying pan; it magically absorbs all the brown bits that fall off so your latkes don't burn.
• Scoop 1/4 packed cup of potato mixture into the pan for each latke and flatten slightly into a patty. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Fry in batches and do not overcrowd the pan, as that lowers the oil temperature, which can affect the crunchiness of your latkes. Place the latkes on the rack and let cool slightly.
• For assembly: There are 2 options for toasting your marshmallow topping. I don't recommend broiling with the marshmallows on the latkes, as it's easy to slightly burn the latke edges. If you have a culinary torch at home, pile about 8 mini marshmallows onto the center of each of the latkes. Torch until browned and soft, and immediately place a few candied pecans into the marshmallows.
• If you don't have a torch, preheat your broiler to low and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Make 10 to 12 piles of 8 mini marshmallows around the baking sheet (one for each latke you made). Broil for 1 minute just until browned and soft. Use a spatula to place a pile of the marshmallows on each latke. Top immediately with a few candied pecans and serve!

ZUCCHINI LATKES

• In a large bowl, toss zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze zucchini dry. Stir in the eggs, onion, matzo meal, pepper and remaining salt. , In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream if desired.

ZUCCHINI POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• NOTE: For best latke consistency, half the raw potatoes are grated using the chopping blade of a food processor, half with its fine grating disc.
• Or use a hand box-grater, grating half the potatoes on the large-hole side, the remainder on the fine-hole.
• The latkes can be made cocktail size-they're great passed with drinks.
• In a food processor fitted with a fine grating disk, grate the zucchini.
• Squeeze out any extra liquid and place in a large bowl.
• Grate half the potatoes in the food processor with the grating disc, or on the finest side of a box-grater, and squeeze out any liquid.
• Quickly add the potatoes to the zucchini.
• Add the eggs and the flour until the mixture is no longer runny and stir to blend.
• In the processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse-chop the onion and remaining potato finely, or grate the potato only on the large-hole side of a box-grater and combine with the onions.
• Add to the zucchini-potato mixture.
• Add the dill and season to taste with the salt and pepper.
• Stir to blend well.
• In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/8 to 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Stir the batter if it appears to have separated.
• When the oil is hot (a drop of the potato mixture added to it will sizzle immediately), spoon quarter-cups of the mixture, or tablespoons for cocktail lakes, into the oil.
