SWEET POTATO LATKES
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Place potatoes in a colander. Place cheesecloth over the potatoes and
squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the
potatoes sit to release more liquid, squeeze again.
Combine potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves, and cinnamon; mix
well.
Form mixture into pancake size cakes and fry in a large frying pan in
hot oil. Flip potatoes over after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is
browned) and brown the other side. Drain on paper towels and serve
hot.
Makes 8 to 12 latkes.
