Ingredients
2 tablespoons
unsalted butter
4
garlic cloves, halved
1
medium yellow onion, halved
1
large sweet potato, peeled
1
large russet potato, peeled
3/4 cup
panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3
large eggs
1/4 cup
green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup
parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon
coarse salt
1 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons
olive oil
Optional toppings:
sour cream, apple sauce, tahini, Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease large, rimmed baking sheet with butter and sprinkle with garlic clove halves. Set aside.
- Grate onion using the large grate side of a box grater and put in a large bowl. Drain liquid from onions. Grate sweet potato and russet potato in same way and toss with the grated onion.
- Add bread crumbs, eggs, green onions, parsley, salt, and ground pepper to the potato mixture and toss to combine. Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture and flatten into ½"-thick pancakes, squeezing slightly to drain part of the liquid from each pancake. Arrange the latkes on the greased baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake latkes for 15 minutes before flipping. Bake for an additional 15 minutes before removing from heat. Serve warm, with optional toppings.
- Handy Hint: If baking the latkes in batches, refresh the baking pan with newly halved garlic cloves. There should be enough fat in the pan for two rounds of baking.
