How to Make Sweet Potato Latkes With Maple Sauce

  1. Peel and shred the russet and sweet potatoes using a food processor or box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a colander and thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispy latkes!
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, baking powder, matzoh meal, salt, and pepper.
  3. Gently fold in the shredded potatoes.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Keep warm.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture into the skillet, forming small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 with remaining batter and oil, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  10. Serve the latkes immediately with the warm maple-spiced sauce. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs, if desired.
