Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, when family and friends gather together, light candles, spin the dreidel, and nibble on latkes, jelly doughnuts, and chocolate gelt. Like most holidays, food takes center stage and is a prominent fixture of this cultural celebration. Most families are bound to a signature latke recipe, which has been passed down through the generations. If you are looking to switch it up and veer away from traditional russet potato latkes, consider this vibrant sweet potato and carrot alternative.
