Sweet potatoes make delicious fried treats for Hannukah! I like to add a little variety to the traditional latke spread. Ingredients:
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 |
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.
3. Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. 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!
