Paleo & Gluten-free Sweet Potato Latkes
Potato latkes come in an endless variety! You can use russet potatoes, sweet potatoes of all varieties, and also mix in shredded zucchini and carrots. If you use zucchini, it is helpful to salt them in advance and then squeeze out the juice before using in the mixture.

  • 2lbs sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 2tsp sea salt
  • 1/2tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  5. Add liquid mixture to bowl with grated potatoes and onions and stir until well combined and potatoes/onions are coated with egg.
  6. Using 1/4 or 1/3 measuring cup, spoon mixture into pan and gently flatten. Make sure there is some space between latkes in pan.
  7. Cook latkes until they are golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Try not to flip latke more then once.
