Latkes:

1 pound sweet potatoes

2-3 eggs

1/4 cup matzo meal

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Chopped fresh coriander or mint leaves, for garnish

Scrub sweet potatoes, then peel and shred finely.

moisture. Let stand in strainer for 5 minutes.

 

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, Add sweet potatoes, matzo

meal, baking powder, salt and pepper. Let stand 5-10

minutes.

 

In the meantime, prepare sauce: In a small saucepan,

combine sauce ingredients, heat over low heat and keep

warm.

 

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet and add a

small ladleful of batter. Flatten gently and fry on

both sides until golden brown. Add oil as necessary,

and fry remaining latkes.

 

Place latkes on a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb

excess oil. Serve hot with warmed sauce.

AuthorNote; loved the sweet potato pancakes, which

not only turned a gorgeous color while frying, but

also allowed me to prepare the batter ahead of time,

without fear of the mixture turning gray, as regular

potatoes are known to do.
