Moist zucchini is the perfect foil for dense sweet potatoes. Both are great with Mexican flavors and really shine in these Tex-Mex latkes.

Ingredients

uncooked sweet potato(es)

1½ pound(s), grated

WW Reduced fat shredded Mexican style blend cheese

1 cup(s)

uncooked zucchini

1 pound(s), grated

uncooked scallion(s)

4 medium, chopped (about 1/3 cup)

egg(s)

1 large

all-purpose flour

6 Tbsp

cilantro

¼ cup(s), or parsley, chopped

chili powder

1 tsp

table salt

1 tsp

reduced-fat sour cream

⅓ cup(s)

fresh lime(s)

1 medium, cut into wedges

cooking spray

2 spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Line a colander with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Add sweet potatoes, zucchini and scallions; let drain, then squeeze out any liquid with your hands.
  3. In a large bowl, mix egg, cheese, flour, cilantro, chili powder and salt; add sweet potato mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Drop potato mixture in mounds, using a 1/4-cup measure, onto prepared baking sheets. Press each mound into a 3-inch round (about 1/4-inch thick).
  5. Coat latkes with cooking spray; bake for 15 minutes. Remove pans from oven and rotate pans in oven; bake until browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Serve with sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Yields 1 latke and about 1 teaspoon sour cream per serving.

Notes

Loosely pack the poatoes in the 1/4-cup measure for the best results
