Sweet Potato Latkes

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 cup cooked lentils
• 1 tsp ground flax seeds
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs
• 2–3 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1

Peel and grate the sweet potatoes. Drain any excess moisture and lightly mash the cooked lentils using a potato masher.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, mashed lentils, ground flax seeds, salt, cayenne pepper, and chopped herbs. Add a little water if needed to form a semi-thick dough.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into latkes about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the latkes for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Alternatively, air fry the latkes at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Step 6

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. These crispy sweet potato and lentil latkes are a delicious snack or side dish that even non-vegans will enjoy.
