Sweet Potato Latkes

Ingredients

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cloves
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again.

In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.

Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot!
