Sweet Potato Latkes image

Specially made for Hanukkah, latkes are potato pancakes that are fried in oil in recognition of the ancient lamps that held only enough oil for one day but miraculously burned for eight.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
Peanut oil, for frying
Sour cream and applesauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine scallions and eggs. Add flour, salt, ginger, cardamom, and pepper, and stir until incorporated. Add both kinds of potatoes, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
  • Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

I had some trouble getting the latkes to stay together in the pan, but they still tasted great.

These latkes were a hit at my Hanukkah party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
