Ingredients
- 1egg white
- 1egg
- 1 zucchini (shredded)
- 1 sweet potato (baked or boiled until slightly soft, then shredded)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 tbs oil
Instructions
Lightly beat egg and egg white in a blow and set aside. Coarsely grate zucchini and sweet potato; then mix with egg mixture. Stir in onion, salt, and pepper until combined.
In a non-stick skillet, heat oil until hot and add mixture by heaping tablespoon to skillet and flatten with a spoon. Cook until brown on both sides, and keep cooked in oven until served.
Note: I made them a tad smaller than the recipe (courtesy of a sweet work friend) suggested, in order to pull a sort of “loaves-and-the-fishes” deal. They were great! I added a little extra oil to make sure they were super-crispy and we just ate them plain. The recipe suggests adding applesauce for dipping. Could be tasty!

after i read this post, i racked my brain for a long time trying to remember the lyrics to that “lights of hanukkah” song we learned in elementary school. i could only recall snippets, one of which was “…gifts to give and latkes for everyone”
and i smiled.
looks yummy, by the way 🙂
