[janetupnorth]

Susan -

Don't know if you make Latkes during the Holidays, but I just found this in my Taste of Home magazine and tehy cook pretty good!

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 10 min/batch
Yield: 24 latkes

1/2 cup all-purpose flours
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
4 cups grated peeled sweet potatoes
oil for frying

In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Stir in eggs and milk until blended. Add sweet potatoes, toss to coat.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown, adding oil as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Hi Susan,Thanks for sharing this recipe! I've actually never tried making latkes before, but I'm definitely going to give this one a try. The addition of curry powder and cumin sounds really interesting and I'm sure it adds a great flavor to the sweet potatoes. Do you have any tips or tricks for making the perfect latkes? I'm always looking for new recipes to try during the holidays. Thanks again for sharing!
