Sweet Potato Latkes image

Sweet potatoes make delicious fried treats for Hannukah! I like to add a little variety to the traditional latke spread.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
ΒΌ cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again.
  • In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.
  • Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my latkes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I'll try using more flour next time.

These latkes were so good! I love the crispy edges and the fluffy interior. They were perfect with applesauce and sour cream.

These latkes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I actually really enjoyed these latkes. They were crispy and flavorful, and the sweetness of the potatoes was perfectly balanced by the savory onions.

These latkes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my latkes turned out too greasy. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I've made these latkes several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and always turn out perfectly.

These latkes were a hit at my Hanukkah party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. I served them with applesauce and sour cream, and they were devoured in minutes.
