Sweet Potato Latkes

[Guest guest]

Sweet Potato Latkes

1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated

1 inch grated ginger root

1/3 cup cornstarch (or flour)

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

pinch nutmeg

3/4 cup vegetable oil or peanut oil, for frying

 

*Sometimes I also add a good dash of curry powder, and some grated apple.

 

In a mixing bowl, stir together the grated potatoes, ginger, cornstarch, eggs,

salt, pepper and nutmeg.

 

Heat the oil (on medium-high heat) in a deep large nonstick skillet. Working in

batches, drop about 1/8 cup potato mixture for each latke into the hot oil.

Flatten a bit with a slotted spatula. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the

latkes until they are golden (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side). Transfer the

latkes with a slotted spatula to paper towels and drain.

 

Serves 5 to 6.

 

Enjoy!

Anyone have sweet potato or even apple latkes? I made the sweet potato once or

twice, but I lost my recipe.

 

Thanks!
