A delicious latke recipe

...in case your bored with the usual latkes, and looking for something to spice up your holiday.

Curried Sweet Potato Latkes


You'll need:

2 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams
1 apple
1/4 cup milk or milk substitute (i use almond milk)
1/3 cup matzoh meal or flour
3 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. curry
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. garlic
canola oil

How to do it:
1: Grate sweet potatoes and apple. Remove any excess moisture (can put in dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out moisture) but LEAVE THE STARCH from the potatoes! It's the white stuff left over when you drain it this is neccesary to help everything stick together.
2. Beat eggs and add one at a time, mixing well.
3. Add milk.
4. Add matzoh meal or flour and baking powder.
5. Add spices and mix well.
6. Heat oil until hot and put large spoonful for each latke. Cook until brown and flip. For those unfamiliar with the dish, it kind of looks like a pancake shaped hashbrown.

Makes about 18 - 20 latkes/"pancakes".
