Secret Ingredient S’mores Latkes

I’ve made tons…TONS…of different types of latkes in the past.  

But…I’ve never published a “formal” S’mores Latke recipe.

Until now.

I want S’more of these!!!

These latkes got rave reviews from all that ate them (not just me), and people loved the secret ingredient.  Especially  because they were super surprised by the fact that that ingredient was in the latkes!!!

Can you guess what the secret ingredient is before we get to the recipe?  Here are some clues:

1. I wanted to create a S’mores latke recipe that didn’t have actual graham crackers in it.  I knew there had to be some flour, but I also wanted GFE’s (gluten free eaters) to be able to make these as well.  Real graham flour is not gluten free, and gluten free graham crackers would get mushy.
2. I wanted the graham-tasting ingredient to be natural.
3. I wanted the graham-tasting ingredient to be accessible to most people.
4. I didn’t want an overpowering weird taste in the latkes.
5. The secret ingredient had to blend well with potatoes, but not be a potato.
6. I liked the idea of the ingredient being an actual vegetable.
7. I didn’t want a strangely colored latke.
8. I wanted people to say “Hmmm…that’s really good…I never would have guessed that you put (insert secret ingredient here) into these!

So…have you figured out what the secret ingredient is yet???  

Daikon??? Believe it!

Here’s the recipe…

Here’s how I did it:

Place the latke ingredients in a large bowl. Mix to combine.

Put 1/2 cupful’s onto the pre-heated and oiled skillet.

Flip and fry on both sides until golden brown.

Oooooooooo a whole tray!
