Recipe: Sweet Potato Latkes

Different cultures celebrate different holidays during the month of December.

Lachelle Cunningham from Breaking Bread Cafe visited WCCO to share some multi-cultural treats.

Breaking Bread is part of a group called "Appetite For Change," which is getting a lot of attention this week with their viral music video.

Here is Cunningham's recipe for sweet potato latkes.
