Perfect for the holidays! There are other kinds of latkes besides plain potato. We like this spicy version. —Loulies
Ingredients
-
2
large sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
-
1/2 cup
white flour
-
1 teaspoon
baking powder
-
Dash
cayenne pepper
-
2 teaspoons
curry powder
-
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
-
1/4 teaspoon
kosher salt
-
freshly ground black pepper
-
2
eggs, beaten
-
1/4 cup
whole milk
-
1/4-1/2 cups
olive oil (for frying)
-
Sour cream
Directions
-
In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, salt and black pepper. Add eggs and milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add grated potatoes and mix (the batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add a little more milk.).
-
Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a large frying for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drop two heaping tablespoons of the potato batter into the hot pan and flatten down with the back of a spatula. Fry 4 to 5 pancakes at a time. Continue to cook over medium-high heat for several minutes until all of the pancakes are golden on each side. Place fried pancake onto a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream.
