It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

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.

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
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.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
