Sweet Potatoe Latkes

The warm weather is finally here and what no better way to kick off the month of June with some sweet potato latkes.

These delicious appetizers not only warm up the soul but also are very close to Coach Grant and Jenn's hearts: it was the first food we shared together. Not sure if it was the chemistry between us or the latkes that brought us together but we can’t say it didn’t help blossom our relationship (our stomachs are the ways to our hearts 😊).

This kind of soul cooking calls for great tunes. Check out Coach Grant's go-to June beat.
