How to Make Sweet Potato Latkes Pancakes

  1. Peel and grate 2 large sweet potatoes (approximately 1.5 pounds). Finely chop 1/2 medium yellow onion.
  2. In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potatoes, onion, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 2 cloves minced garlic (omit if adding spices below), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. If using spices, omit garlic.
  4. Heat about 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
