Curried Sweet Potato Latkes image

These are addictive. The recipe calls for peanut oil but any good quality cooking oil will do. I got this recipe from a homeschooling list that I'm on. Make them one batch at a time. Can be an appetizer or main course depending on the size you make them. Adjust spices as your prefer. Some like these with hot curry powder.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (I use less)
2 teaspoons curry powder, of your choice mild to hot
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 -2 tablespoon milk, enough to make a stiff batter
1 lb sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
peanut oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Mix the first eight ingredients together then add in the rest.
  • If batter is too stiff, add a little more milk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Preheat your frying pan. You can use a stove top or electric frying pan.
  • Test the heat of your pan by cooking a single latke. When you have determined the right temperature for your pan then drop by spoonfuls into the heated frying pan with 1/4 inch of peanut or other good quality cooking oil.
  • Flatten with back of spatula.
  • Cook on each side until golden, and drain on paper towels.
