Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded white sweet potato (I use a cheese grater or the shredder attachment on a food processor)
- 1/2 medium white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup arrowroot starch
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (solid) + 1/4 cup or more for frying
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
- Green onion for topping & apple sauce or compliant sour cream on the side for dipping
Instructions
- Using a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato, onion, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, 2 tbsp of coconut oil, salt, and pepper, and mix well until combined.
- Form the latke mixture into patties the size of the palm of your hand and lightly flatten them. You want them to be around 1/4″-1/3″ inch thick, so they’re on the thinner side, but also don’t break. You should have about 4-5 latkes.
- Using a large, deep skillet melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil on medium-high heat. Working in batches of about 2 at a time, Drop the latkes into the oil pan. Allow to fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, and carefully flip with a spatula. Once they’re evenly browned, remove the latkes from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
- Top with green onion and serve with apple sauce, and enjoy!
