How to Make Sweet Potato Latkes
- Coarsely grate 2 large sweet potatoes. Place grated sweet potatoes in a colander and press firmly to remove excess moisture. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix gently until just combined.
- Let the mixture rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to allow the potatoes to release more moisture. This will result in crispier latkes.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of oil (vegetable or canola) in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the latke mixture (about 1/4 cup per latke) onto the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Remove latkes from skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy goodness!
