Potato Latke Recipe with Apples

This potato latkes recipe with apples and Tahini Silan Sauce and both savory and sweet. Can you think of a better marriage between two traditions? An Ashkenaz Hanukkah favorite paired with the Middle Eastern Sephardic flavors of dates and tahini. Talk about a match made in heaven!

But the truth is, everyone loves potato latkes, regardless of their background. There's something about the crispy, shredded potatoes that no one can resist. And even though we didn't grow up eating them ( it was all about sufganiot for us!), we make them for our family every year... and not only during Hanukkah!

This year we wanted to go the sweet route, since we've always made savory latkes. We added Gala apples, cinnamon and cardamom to our potato latkes recipe; the simple yet delicious dipping sauce combines tahini and silan, a sweet, dark amber colored syrup made from dates and water.

The inspiration for this sauce comes from a tahini-silan spread our parents used to eat when we were kids. They would serve it on a plate with big pieces of pita or French baguette. Consider it the Middle Eastern peanut butter and Jelly 😉
