Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Sweet Potato peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • Canola or Vegetable Oil for pan searing
  • Apple Sauce

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Peeler
  • Grater
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Place the first 5 ingredients in a bowl and thoroughly combine.
  2. Place a large saute pan or griddle over medium heat.
  3. Heat a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom of a large sauté pan and add 2 heaping tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture to the pan. Pat down the mixture with the back of a fork and form into a thin, circular patty. (You don’t want them to be thick or they won’t cook through.)
  4. Cook for 5 minutes on each side or until they begin to turn golden.
  5. Place the patties on a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining sweet potato mixture.
  6. Cool patties and serve.
  7. Allow to cool, then place in a ziploc bag, label and freeze. When ready, pop them into an oven at 300 for 10 minutes or until warmed through or defrost in the fridge for 24 hours then heat in a dry pan.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover latkes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for a crispy texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked latkes for up to 2 months. Just make sure they're cooled completely before placing in a freezer bag.
  • Serving: Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
  • Variations: Add some grated onion for an extra flavor kick, or try incorporating herbs for a twist.
