Crispy Sweet Potato Latkes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Sweet Potato Latkes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 200°F (95°C) and lining a baking sheet with paper towels to catch any excess oil later.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab a bowl and fill it with lightly salted water.

3. Step 3

   Rinse your grated sweet potato in this water to remove any excess starch, then drain it using a sieve.

4. Step 4

   To ensure your latkes are crispy, pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels before transferring it to a mixing bowl.

5. Step 5

   Now, take your grated onion and squeeze out any extra moisture before adding it to the bowl with the sweet potato.

6. Step 6

   Give everything a good stir, then mix in the eggs and a dash of black pepper until the ingredients are well combined and ready to shine.

7. Step 7

   Heat some olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   For each latke, scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening the patties with a fork to help them cook evenly.

9. Step 9

   Fry the latkes for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crisp on the bottom.

10. Step 10

    When it’s time to flip them, sprinkle a little salt on top and let the other side cook until it’s just as golden.

11. Step 11

    Once they’re perfectly cooked, transfer the latkes to your prepared baking sheet in the warm oven to keep them toasty while you finish frying the rest of the mixture.

12. Step 12

    Finally, serve your delicious latkes hot, accompanied by a side of applesauce and yogurt for dipping.

    Enjoy the delightful crunch and the sweet and savory flavors that make these latkes a true treat!.
