Sweet Potato Pancakes - 'Latkes'<< Sweet Potato Pancakes are a colorful addition to any meal - the addition of a variety of vegetables to the sweet potato batter adds texture and nutrition to this easy recipe for potato latkes. The best part is that you can either fry the latkes on the stove or bake them in the oven. Don't wait for the holidays to make these! Ingredients:
One by one, grate the vegetables using a hand grater or the food processor. If using a food processor, do not overprocess - try to retain some texture. Transfer grated vegetables into a large bowl. Add eggs and remaining ingredients (except for the oil) mixing until batter is well-blended. If the mixture is watery, add another small handful of flour or matzo meal. To fry on stove: Heat oil in a large skillet at medium high. Add spoonfuls of batter to hot oil. Brown on both sides for 3-5 minutes or until the latkes are golden brown and firm. Remove latkes to drain on paper towels for a few minutes. They can be served right away or re-heated for later. Bake in the oven: On a large baking sheet, use a basting brush to “paint” a thin layer of oil on the pan where you will place each latke. When the sweet potato pancakes are placed on the pan, use the brush to lightly paint the top of each latke. Bake at 375°F, using the middle rack of your oven, for 10-15 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Baking time depends on the size and moisture level of the latkes so keep an eye on them! Latkes are delicious hot or cold!
