These are wonderfully different and savory dispite the sugars in the recipe. For dietary reasons I used egg substitute and chose to bake them at high heat using Chias method for her baked potatoe latkes, and they turned out nice and crisp on the outside. I served with South American Flank Steak #170400 and they paired well. Next time I think I might add a bit of minced onion to the mixture. I can only imagine how good these are fried. Thank you Hey Jude for sharing the recipe. Its one I'll be making again.
