Ginger + Curry Sweet Potato Fries

2011-07-08 12.26.11

So we are well into NHL and NBA playoff season, which means that pretty much every night there is an opportunity to get together with friends and watch a great hockey or basketball game (or both).  It also means that there are plenty of opportunities to cook together and enjoy a meal in between moments of shouting at the tv.

My favorite hockey team, the Minnesota Wild, just so happens to be in the playoffs right now so I cooked dinner for my friends while we watched game 2.  In coming up with the menu, I wanted to cook a variety of finger-foods that appealed to men and women, were packed full of flavor and that felt reminiscent of something that you could get at a sports arena.  One of the items that I made was my interpretation of the classic and always favorite Sweet Potato Fries.  I was so happy to serve this dish to people that I love!

I used the same concept here with brie, tuscan kale and toasted walnuts.  TOTALLY winged it, but it turned out quite well!

Sweet Potato & Zucchini Latkes

There are so many things that I appreciate about being raised Jewish, particularly the family-centrism, religious tolerance, sassy attitude and open-mindedness that has resulted.  But let’s be real, one of the best things about growing up Jewish is that we know how to COOK!  With Hanukkah starting this weekend, I thought it would be fun to put up a healthy version of my favorite holiday recipe; Potato Latkes.
