Sweet Potato Latke

By nekmor

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated (equals about 4 cups)
• 1 green apple, peeled cored and grated
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 small onion, grated
• 1 cup Complete pancake mix
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Sprinkle of black pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Sour cream as “garnish”

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, stir together potatoes, green onion, onion, apple, egg, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the pancake mix and stir to combine.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over moderate high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4 or 5, spoon a large spoonful of the mixture into the oil and lightly flatten.


Reduce heat slightly and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer latkes with spatula to a plate layered with paper towels.

Once they sit for a moment or two and drain, I transfer them to a cookie sheet. If I’m not serving them immediately, I warm them for a few minutes in the oven before I serve them.
