Spiced Sweet Potato Latkes

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

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients, creating a cozy cooking space. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, curry powder, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Give it a good stir to blend the dry ingredients together, allowing the spices to mingle and create a fragrant base for your latkes.

2. Step 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they are well combined and frothy. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is blended and smooth. You want to avoid any lumps, so take your time here. Once the batter is ready, fold in the shredded sweet potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the batter.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to heat things up! In a heavy skillet, pour in enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium heat. You want the oil to be hot but not smoking. Once it’s ready, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, using a spatula to gently flatten them into round patties. Fry each latke for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully golden brown and crispy.

4. Step 4

   Once cooked, transfer the latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve them hot, and watch as they disappear! These Spiced Sweet Potato Latkes are perfect on their own or paired with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce for an extra touch of flavor.
