Sweet Potato Latkes

This week I made Sweet Potato Latkas as it is getting close to Hanukkah and I am reminded of delicious potato pancakes around this time of year. I am not sure if this does constitute a Kosher meal as it does have eggs and is served with cottage cheese. It should given that eggs without blood spots are considered Pareve but I am not an expert in this matter.

Sweet Potato Latkes

Something a little different this year

Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato (shredded )
1/4 cup yellow onion  (minced)
1 large egg
1 tsp all purpose flour
Black pepper to taste
Garlic powder 1/4 tsp
Seasoning salt to taste
cooking oil (for frying)

served with:
2 TBSP cottage cheese
1 TBSP Salsa

Directions:
Wash, Peel, and Shred 1 sweet potato
squeeze as much water out of the shredded sweet potato as possible an place in a 1 quart container for mixing
Mince 1/4 cup of yellow onion and add to the shredded sweet potato
add 1 egg 1 tsp flour garlic black pepper and seasoning salt to the shredded sweet potato and onion mixture.
mix until thoroughly combined
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat
add cooking oil and cook 2-3 TBSP of the mixture at a time flattening it to make a pancake shape.
Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the edges are crispy

Suggestions:
Serve with sausage and scrambled eggs
try deep frying flattened cakes for a crispier version.
if you don't like cottage cheese and salsa try olive oil, rosemary and other herbs as garnishes.
