For the first night of Chanukah I decided to make latkes. Only Costco had a sale on a super big box of sweet potatoes so I decided my latkes would have sweet potatoes. The "curry" also appealed to my non-traditional self. I modified it a bit and the result was yummy.Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, grated
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons Splenda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon parsley
¼ teaspoon salt
Dash ground pepper
5 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup non-fat milk
Canola oil for frying
Directions:
- Wash and grate sweet potatoes in a food processor.
- In a large bowl, combine Nearly Normal All Purpose Flour, sugar, baking powder and spices. Add in the eggs and milk to the dry ingredients, then add the grated potatoes to the batter. If it is too thick, add more milk.
- Heat the oil to 375-400F in an electric skillet or deep skillet over a medium high flame. When hot, drop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter in circles and thin by spreading with the backside of a spoon. Cook each pancake until lightly browned on each side, flipping to cook both sides evenly. Remove with a slotted spatula onto a paper towel lined plate to cool. Serve warm with your accompaniment of choice.
- Applesauce
- Sour cream
