Sweet Potato Latkes
Author
Jo-Anna Rooney
Ingredients
1
lb
sweet potato or yam
peeled & grated
1
onion
grated
2
tbsp
fresh lemon juice
2
eggs
lightly beaten
3
sliced green onions
1/3
cup
whole wheat flour
3/4
tsp
salt
1/2
tsp
chili powder
1/4
tsp
curry
optional
1/4
tsp
ground black pepper
Instructions
Combine the grated sweet potato, grated onion, and lemon juice. Put the mixture into a towel and squeeze out all the moisture.
Then put it all into a bowl and add the eggs, green onions, flour and spices. Combine.
There are 2 ways you can cook these:
You can cook them in a frying pan, using 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying OR
We like to use a pancake griddle, and lightly spray it with Pam. Uses a fraction of the oil, and works just as well!
Now it's time to cook them:
Just scoop large spoonfuls of mix, and flatten them with a spatula.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side.
If you want to make the whole batch up at the same time, put the cooked latkes in a 300 degree oven until dinner time!
Notes
Don't make the latkes too big, or they won't cook properly.
