Classic potato pancakes are usually served with sour cream or applesauce, but these sweet potato latkes leave tradition behind and blaze a new, sweet path. Maple and marshmallow obviously make for delicious additions, but the subtle spices of ginger and nutmeg are really what make these latkes shine.

ingredients


Latkes

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup flour or matzo meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons light olive oil for frying

Sauce

1 cup real maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon peeled, grated fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt


1 cup miniature marshmallows

directions

Spiralize or grate the sweet potatoes and set aside on paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.

Mix the eggs with the flour, baking powder and seasonings. Stir in the sweet potatoes and completely coat in the egg mixture. Set aside.

In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup, ginger, nutmeg, and salt over low heat. Just heat the mixture, do not boil it.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

When the skillet is hot, add the sweet potato mixture in spoonfuls. Fry until golden brown then flip over and cook until browned on the other side. Remove the latkes to paper toweling to drain. Repeat with all remaining sweet potato mixture.

When all the latkes are cooked, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased foil. Drizzle each latke with a little of the maple syrup then top with miniature marshmallows. Place in the oven until marshmallows puff up and start to turn golden brown.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately with the rest of the maple syrup.
