During one of my office potlucks, a co-worker brought in some homemade latkes. It was the first time I had latkes and I was hooked! She had made the classic latkes, but mentioned that you could literally add anything you want to the latkes depending on your taste. Since we are a big fan of sweet potato, spices, and herbs, Chris and I threw together some sweet and savory sweet potato latkes.

- 2 medium sweet onions
- canola oil
- 3 large sweet potatoes, grated and excess water squeezed out using a towel
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 garlic bulbs, minced
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 large bunch cilantro, chopped
- sour cream or applesauce to top the latkes
Directions:
Over medium-low heat, saute the chopped onions with a little bit of oil. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions have caramelized.
In a large bowl, gently fold all ingredients except the sour cream. Then heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the latke mixture into the skillet and lightly flatten with a spatula. Cook the latke for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the cooked latkes for an additional 15 minutes or till nice and crispy. Enjoy the latkes with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce!
