Instructions

Place the first 5 ingredients in a bowl and throughly combine.

Place a large saute pan or griddle over medium heat.

Heat a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom of a large sauté pan and 2 heaping tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture to the pan. Pat down the mixture with the back of a fork and form into a thin, circular patty (you don’t want them to be thick or they won’t cook through).

Cook for 5 minutes on each side or until they begin to turn golden.

Place the patties on a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining sweet potato mixture.

Cool patties and serve.

*Allow to cool, then place in ziploc bag, label and freeze. When ready, pop them into a oven at 300 for 10 minutes or until warmed through or defrost in fridge for 24 hours then heat in a dry pan.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Squeeze Out Excess Moisture 💧
After shredding sweet potatoes, wrap them tightly in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze vigorously to remove excess liquid, which prevents soggy latkes and ensures crispy edges.
Use Starchy Sweet Potatoes 🥔
Select drier varieties of sweet potatoes rather than very moist ones, as they'll bind better with eggs and flour without requiring extra moisture removal.
Oil Temperature is Critical 🌡️
Maintain oil at 350-375°F for optimal frying—use a thermometer to ensure the latkes achieve golden-brown exteriors in 2-3 minutes while staying tender inside.
Cinnamon Enhances the Natural Sweetness ✨
Toast the cinnamon briefly in a dry pan before adding to your mixture to intensify its warm flavor and complement the sweet potato's natural sugars beautifully.
Keep Latkes Warm on a Sheet Pan 📋
Place finished latkes on a paper towel-lined baking sheet in a 200°F oven to maintain crispness and warmth while you finish cooking the remaining batches.
