Units
For the maple-apple cream:
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp maple syrup
- ½ apple, peeled and grated
For the latkes:
- 2 ½ lbs medium sweet potatoes (about 3-4), peeled and grated
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- canola or vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- To make the maple cream: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk to blend.
- To make the latkes: In a large mixing bowl, stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs and spices.
- Heat about ¼-inch oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot (not smoking). Working in batches, spoon potato mixture (approximately 2–3 Tbsp per latke) into oil and flatten with the back of the spatula. Cook until golden brown, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer latkes with a slotted spatula to a rack or place on paper towels to drain.
- Serve hot with applesauce and sour cream or maple-apple cream.
