Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Latkes
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoon Gold’s Cocktail Sauce
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 4 teaspoon minced crystallized ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce omit if using Extra Spicy Cocktail Sauce
- 1/2 of a medium apple coarsely choppped
- 2 pound sweet potatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix together cranberry sauce, applesauce, Gold’s Cocktail Sauce, maple syrup, ginger, hot sauce, and a pinch salt in a medium saucepan. Stir in chopped apple and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and apple just begins to soften. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Finely shred the sweet potatoes and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Place potatoes in a large bowl and add onion, eggs, flour, ancho chili powder, cumin, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to taste. Mix well until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Heat 1/4-inch oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Leaving liquid behind in the bowl, scoop out 1/4 c. batter and place in the oil. Flatten with a spatula to form a pancake. Repeat with remaining batter, frying no more than 4 latkes at a time.
- Fry until crisp and golden brown, turning once, 3-4 minutes per side. Drain latkes on brown paper bags.
- Reheat sauce, if necessary. Serve latkes immediately with warm cranberry sauce.

This looks like a keeper–I love the combination of flavors. Very zesty! 🙂
I will be making this for the holidays. Love the combination of sweet and tangy.
