Sweet Potato Latkes with Fig Jam
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato, spiralized with blade c
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 2 eggs (or egg substitute)
- 1/4 t. black pepper
- 1/2 t. sea salt
- 2 t. coconut oil
- sour cream, for serving
- fig jam, for serving
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the shallot, sweet potato, eggs, pepper, and salt
Set aside in the fridge for about 30 minutes
Place the coconut oil in a frying pan
Turn it on high until the oil is melted and hot
Turn the heat down to medium
Grab a handful of spiralized potato mixture
I used kitchen scissors to cut off some potato strands when i have enough in my hand
Form a tightly packed ball
Place the ball into the oil and allow to sit for about a minute
Then, with the back of your spatula, press the ball down into a patty
Cook for another minute, or two, then flip
Cook the other side for two minutes and then remove to a plate lined with a paper towel
Repeat this process until your mixture is used up. I did three batches, making 6 patties total. I suggest only putting 2-3 patties in the pan at a time
Top your potato pancakes with a dollop of sour cream and fig jam. I got all fancy and put a rosemary sprig on top
