Sweet potato latkes are a delicious and nutritious twist on the traditional potato pancake. They are perfect for a cozy brunch or as a delightful side dish for dinner. Made with grated sweet potatoes, shallots, and lightly fried to crispy perfection, these latkes offer a slightly sweet flavor balanced with the savory taste of shallots and a crisp exterior. Here’s how you can make your own sweet potato latkes at home:
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, corn flour, finely chopped shallots, and beaten egg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before you start frying the latkes; you can test this by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the oil – it should sizzle immediately.
- Take a heaping tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture and shape it into a flat patty. Carefully place the patty into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry each latke for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spatula, remove the latkes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the sweet potato latkes hot. They can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of toppings such as sour cream, apple sauce, or chive mayonnaise.
Tips:
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are grated evenly to cook uniformly.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated sweet potatoes using a clean kitchen towel to achieve crispier latkes.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra seasoning to enhance flavors.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent latkes from sticking.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying to maintain an even temperature.
Sweet potato latkes are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. With their crisp texture and delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors, they are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra special treat. Happy cooking!
