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)

Eliminate Excess Moisture 💧
Grate sweet potatoes and squeeze them firmly in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid, which prevents soggy latkes and ensures crispy edges.
Chill Before Frying 🧊
Refrigerate your sweet potato mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help the patties hold their shape and cook more evenly in the oil.
Oil Temperature is Critical 🌡️
Maintain oil at 350-375°F for optimal results—too cool and latkes absorb excess oil, too hot and they burn before the inside cooks through.
Balance Sweet and Savory 🤝
Increase kosher salt slightly to complement the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and prevent the cinnamon from overpowering the dish.
Drain on Paper Towels Immediately 🍽️
Transfer cooked latkes to paper towels right after frying to remove excess oil while they're still crispy; serve warm with applesauce for the best texture and flavor.
