Preparation

Step 1

Shred the sweet potatoes and the onion. Rinse the shredded potatoes under cold water in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, onions, eggs, sugar, matzo meal, and cinnamon. Gently mix together by hand.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F. Scoop 3 and 1/2 spoonfuls from the mixture and drop into the hot oil. Fry them for bout 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Dry them in a pepper towel or resting rack.
