sweet potato latkes

 

recipe (one person, makes about 3 big latkes)

• 1/2 big sweet potato (apprx. 250g), grated
• 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• some green herbs


1. Grate sweet potato and mix with all the other ingredients
2. Stir to combine with a whisk
3. Heat enough oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium high heat until hot
4. Spoon 1/3 of the mix in the pan and flatten with a fork
5. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, then flip
6. Cook other side for 2-3 more minutes
7. Transfer to a paper towel and drain

My most favourite side dish to this recipe is applesauce and cucumber-salad with a dill-dressing.
The combination of the warm and golden brown latkes and sweet applesauce with the refreshing and cold salad is just devine.
