Ingredients
- olive oil, for greasing
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and grated (about 5 cups)
- 1 McIntosh apple, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch each sea salt and black pepper
- 5 tbsp plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; grease parchment with oil.
- Place grated sweet potatoes and apple in a towel and squeeze out any extra liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, apple, eggs, flour, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Using ¼ cup mixture, pack into a ball and place on baking sheet. Flatten with a spatula to make a round disk. Repeat with remaining mixture to make about 20 disks.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flip over and return baking sheets to oven, rotating racks. Bake an additional 10 minutes until latkes are golden brown. Serve each serving of latkes with 1 tbsp yogurt.
NOTE: If following our Meal Plan, store latkes in the refrigerator. When called for, reheat in a toaster oven or skillet on medium-high to heat through and crisp.
