Sweet Potato Latkes image

Specially made for Hanukkah, latkes are potato pancakes that are fried in oil in recognition of the ancient lamps that held only enough oil for one day but miraculously burned for eight.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater
Peanut oil, for frying
Sour cream and applesauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine scallions and eggs. Add flour, salt, ginger, cardamom, and pepper, and stir until incorporated. Add both kinds of potatoes, and toss until combined and evenly coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with about 1/2 inch oil. Place over medium heat until oil is almost smoking. (To test, drop a small bit of batter into the skillet; it should sizzle upon contact.)
  • Working in batches so as not to crowd skillet, carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into oil for each latke. Lightly tamp down to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack to drain. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with sour cream and applesauce.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

I had a hard time getting the latkes to stay together. They kept falling apart in the pan.

These latkes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar.

I've made these latkes several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make, and they're always perfectly crispy. I love serving them with sour cream and applesauce.

These latkes were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the sweet potato flavor really shined through. I loved that they were a healthier alternative to traditional potato latkes, and they were just as de
