Yam and Carrot Latkes topped with Peanut Sauce
This latke recipe uses very little oil, as it relies on the non-stick surface of the griddle to release the latke from the cooking surface. The orange color makes a beautiful presentation and is full of Vitamin A, antioxidants and beta carotene.

- Heat non-stick griddle or skillet to medium high heat. Spray or brush olive oil onto non-stick surface. Make 3-inch latke patty with hands and place on griddle.
