Sweet potatoes make delicious fried treats for Hannukah! I like to add a little variety to the traditional latke spread.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

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
ΒΌ cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • 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!
