Serves 8
A tasty twist on tired sweet potatoes at the Thanksgiving table.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk (approximately)
- Peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the sweet potatoes coarsely.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Add the eggs and just enough milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter.
- Add the potatoes and mix. The batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add more milk.
- Heat 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a frying pan until it is barely smoking.
- Drop in the batter using a 1/4 cup measure and then flatten the latkes with a spoon.
- Fry over medium-high heat several minutes on each side until golden.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve with sour cream and cranberry apple chutney.
