Curried Sweet Potato Latkes

Ingredients Needed

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon curry powder

• 2 teaspoons white sugar

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• ¾ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• ½ cup milk

• 4 cups peeled, shredded sweet potato

• 2 cups oil for frying, or as needed

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, curry powder, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth with no lumps. Fold in the grated sweet potatoes until fully incorporated.

3. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, using a spatula to flatten them into round patties. Fry for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

4. Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve immediately while hot.

Chef's Tip:

Make sure to keep the latkes small in size. They may not cook through properly if they're too thick.

Editorial Note:

We calculated the nutritional value of the oil used for frying assuming a retention rate of 10% after cooking. The actual amount can vary based on factors like cooking time, temperature, ingredient density, and the type of oil used.
