Sweet Potato Latkes recipe

8 servings

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

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.

In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.

Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

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!
