Ingredients

2 regular potatoes, peeled
1 sweet potato, peeled
1 carrot or 1/2 cup of carrot matchsticks
2 eggs
3 tablespoons wheat flour
Olive or canola oil
Salt and pepper
Ketchup or applesauce

Directions

1. Grate the potatoes and the carrot in a big bowl.

   

2. Use your hands to press the mixture flat against the bowl and pour out the extra liquid.
3. Place a pan on the stove on medium heat. Pour two to four tablespoons of oil in the pan.
4. While the pan is heating up, add the egg, flour, and a little salt and pepper to the grated veggies and mix well.

   

5. Now you're ready to cook the latkes. Using a big slotted spoon, scoop out about two tablespoons of the mixture and drop onto the pan. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them so they're about 1/4 inch thick.

   

6. Allow the latkes to cook for five to eight minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Check the bottoms constantly with a spatula and flip them when they're ready.
7. Let them cook for another five to eight minutes, or until golden brown.

   

8. Place a paper towel on a plate, and then put the cooked latkes on top so the extra oil can be absorbed.
9. Serve warm with ketchup or applesauce.
