Coconut Sweet Potato Latkes
Coconut Sweet Potato Latkes are a new twist on a family favorite.
This week’s feast will be a unique experience in my house as we celebrate Thanksgiving and the first night of Hanukkah. Typically the festival of lights is celebrated in December, but for the first time in hundreds of years the two holidays overlap. This means we’re having lots of fun creating a menu for dinner this Thursday!
Latkes are a traditional Jewish treat I just learned how to make earlier this year. Now that I have a hang on the recipe, I thought it was time to experiment and create something with a Thanksgiving twist. I swapped out the white potato for a sweet potato, added in some other goodies and voilà – a perfect combination treat for Thanksgivukkah! Frying in coconut oil gives the potatoes not only great flavor, but just the right amount of crispiness. Plus, this version can be made nearly guilt-free and even Paleo (depending on how much brown sugar you use).
Ingredients:
1 pound sweet potatoes
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1-2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup chopped pecans (options)
Kelapo Coconut Oil
Directions:
Frying in coconut oil not only gives your food flavor, but also adds a wonderful crispiness to any dish.
It took some trial and error to get the seasonings just how I like it. Don’t be afraid to make one, taste it, and then adjust your spices accordingly. Need other Thanksgivukkah inspiration? How about FitMenCook’s Stuffed Apples or our Roasted Turkey.
