Sweet Potato Latkes

Takes some work to get all the potatoes ready, but definitely worth it!! My family, who usually use regular potatoes for this kind of thing, loved it! Very good!

What You Need

lb. sweet potato (about 3), peeled

green onions, chopped

eggs, beaten

Tbsp. flour

1/4

tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2

tsp. salt

1/4

tsp. ground black pepper

1/4

cup oil

1/2

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

Make It

GRATE potatoes using large holes of box grater; place in center of large clean kitchen towel. Bring up ends of towel and twist together to form pouch. Hold pouch over sink, then squeeze to remove as much moisture from potatoes as possible. Empty potatoes into large bowl. Add onions, eggs, flour, cinnamon, salt and pepper; mix well.

HEAT oil in medium nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. For each latke, carefully drop 1 Tbsp. potato mixture into skillet, cooking 2 or 3 latkes at a time. Immediately spread each mound into thin circle with back of spoon. Cook 3 to 4 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove latkes from skillet; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.

SERVE topped with sour cream.

Very good, it was difficult to get enough moisture out but the end result was very tasty. I would definitely make these again.

So delicious! Might use more cinnamon next time though.

This is an excellent change for a potato side dish. Family loved it. Just make sure to get enough moisture out of the sweet potatoes, and get them spread thin in the pan.

I had never made latkes before and these came out wonderful. They were very easy to make. The only problem I had was overcooking a few of them, but even those were good. I will definitely make these again.

I used to live in chicago and I went to this little diner everyday before work....they served latkes and I loved them! Anyways...I hadn't had latkes in a VERY long time and this week I had a huge craving for them...they were great! They are very easy to make and soooo worth it! If your a potato person, you'll love it! have fun!
