Source of Recipe
chanukah.spike-jamie.com
List of Ingredients
3 medium sweet potatoes
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup dried currants
2 beaten eggs
1/3 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
Applesauce, if desiredRecipe
Peel and finely shred sweet potatoes. You should have 3 cups.
In a small mixing bowl pour the boiling water over currants; let stand 5 minutes, then drain. In a large mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, hazelnuts, the currants, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir in shredded potatoes.
Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid.
Cook in 2 tablespoons cooking oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Reduce heat to prevent over-browning, if necessary. Add additional oil as needed to prevent sticking when cooking remaining latkes.
Drain and serve with applesauce or other toppings, if desired. Makes about 10 latkes.
