Susan's Recipe.

Curried sweet potato latkes

 

1 lb. sweet potatoes peeled

1/2 cup flour

2 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tsp. curry powder

1 tsp. cumin

salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

peanut oil for frying

 

1. Grate sweet potatoes coarsely.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, sugars, baking powder, and all the spices.

2. Add the eggs and just enough milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add the potatoes and mix.  The batter should be moist but not runny, if too stiff, add more milk.

3. Heat 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a frying pan until it is barely smoking.  Drop in the batter by tablespoons and flatten.  Fry over medium-high heat several minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve.

 

Great with cranberry sauce.
