Sweet Potato Pancakes image

Crisp potato pancakes called latkes are part of Hanukkah celebrations. We've kept the traditional frying method (and sour cream to go with them), but refreshed the recipe by trading white potatoes and onions for sweet potatoes and scallions.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Coarsely grate sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade). Transfer to a large bowl; stir in scallions, eggs, flour, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Using a packed 1/4-cup measure of potato mixture per pancake, shape into 12 mounds. With hands, form each into a firm ball; transfer to a baking sheet. With palm, flatten balls into 3/4-inch-thick cakes.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium until hot (see note, below). Using a metal spatula with a thin blade, carefully transfer 6 cakes to skillet; flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pancakes to a paper-towel-lined plate; sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with remaining cakes. Serve immediately, with sour cream, if desired.

A bit too bland for my taste. I added some cinnamon and nutmeg and that helped a lot.

Not a fan of the texture. The pancakes were a bit too dense for my liking.

A bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar.

A bit bland for my taste. Maybe next time I'll add some vanilla extract or chocolate chips.
