Description

Celebrate Hanukkah with a sweet/savory twist on the lacy original!

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Medium Sweet Potatoes, Grated
  • 1 whole Small Yellow Onion, Grated
  • 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • ¼ cups Whole Wheat Flour (All Purpose Flour Works Too)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, Plus More For Sprinkling
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil, Plus More As Needed For Frying

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250 (F). Line a cookie sheet with 2 layers of paper towels.

Mix all ingredients except for oil together in a large bowl. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Keep the bowl next to the stove, and form 2 inch patties one at a time, pressing them against a slotted spoon so they stick together, then gently placing them into the oil. Be careful not to crowd the pan (I usually do 3 at a time). When the edges are lightly browned, after about 2 minutes, flip the latkes gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the other side is lightly browned. After a batch or two, you will get the hang of the timing. When the latkes are browned all over, remove to the paper towel-lined cookie sheet, sprinkle with salt, and place in the warm oven. Sweet potato bonus: the burnt parts don’t taste bad!

Serve with sour cream and/or applesauce.

Note: the oil will change temperature as you add and remove latkes, so keep adjusting the heat so that the latkes continue to sizzle, but not sputter and burn when you place them in the pan. You will probably also need to add vegetable oil to keep 1/4 inch in the pan as you fry.
