Latkes, traditionally made from potatoes and onions, are a staple of Jewish cuisine, particularly during Hanukkah. However, our recipe takes this beloved dish and gives it a unique twist by swapping out regular potatoes for the vibrant and nutrient-packed sweet potato.

The star ingredient that sets our version apart is almond flour. This addition elevates the traditional latke to a whole new level of taste and texture, introducing a surprising element that makes the dish even more enjoyable while maintaining its health benefits.

Sweet Potato Latke Toppings and Serving Suggestions

When it comes to sweet potato latkes, the possibilities for toppings and serving suggestions are as boundless as your imagination! Sweet potato latkes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed at any time of day, from a hearty breakfast to a light dinner. The natural sweetness and crisp texture of the latke create a perfect canvas for a wide range of flavors and textures.

Savory Toppings

For those who prefer a savory kick, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. The creaminess and tanginess of these toppings beautifully balance out the sweetness of the latke. Smoked salmon or lox also pairs wonderfully with sweet potato latkes, adding a luxurious touch to an otherwise simple dish.

For a more adventurous twist, try topping your latkes with a poached egg and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or dill. The runny egg yolk adds a rich, creamy element that complements the crispy latke perfectly.

Sweet Toppings

If you have a sweet tooth, sweet potato latkes can easily transform into a delightful dessert. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey adds a wonderful depth of flavor. For a fruity twist, top your latkes with a homemade apple or cranberry compote. Unsweetened applesauce is also a taste addition. The tartness of the fruit cuts through the sweetness of the latke, creating a balanced and flavorful bite.

You can also sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or serve them with a side of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

Texture and Flavor Combinations

The beauty of sweet potato latkes lies in their versatility. You can mix and match toppings to find your favorite combination. The key is to balance the flavors and textures. If your topping is creamy, pair it with something crunchy like chopped nuts or seeds. If it’s tangy, pair it with something sweet like fruit or a drizzle of honey.

If you’re on a Nutrisystem plan, just be sure to keep track of your sweet potato latkes and toppings! Each serving of these latkes counts as one SmartCarb and one PowerFuel on your weight loss plan. You can learn more about how to count different toppings and add-ins in the Nutrisystem Grocery Guide.

Plating and Serving Tips

When it comes to plating, stack your latkes in a pyramid for a visually appealing presentation. Place your chosen topping on each latke or serve it on the side so guests can add as much or as little as they like.

While latkes are best served hot right out of the pan, they can also be made ahead and reheated in the oven just before serving. This makes them a perfect choice for entertaining, as you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your guests.

Whether you’re serving these sweet potato latkes for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert, they’re sure to be a hit. So go ahead, experiment with different toppings and find your perfect latke pairing!
