Sweet Potato and Currant Latkes

 

 

Ingredients

 

3 medium sweet potatoes

1 cup boiling water

1/4 cup dried currants

2 beaten eggs

1/3 cup finely chopped hazelnuts

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/8 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. cooking oil

Applesauce, if desired

 

Directions:

 

1. Peel and finely shred sweet potatoes.You should

have 3 cups.

2. In a small mixing bowl pour the boiling water over

currants; let stand 5 minutes, then drain. In a large

mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, hazelnuts, the

currants, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir in shredded

potatoes.

3. Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture

into patties about the size of the palm of your hand,

squeezing out excess liquid.

4. Cook in 2 tablespoons cooking oil over medium-high

heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden

brown. Reduce heat to prevent overbrowning, if

necessary. Add additional oil as needed to prevent

sticking when cooking remaining latkes.

5. Drain and serve with applesauce or other toppings,

if desired. Makes about 10 latkes.(Nutrition
