Sweet Potato Latkes

Typically, latkes are prepared by grating raw potatoes, usually russets, as they have a high starch value. Once formed, the latkes are fried in heated oil until they are golden brown on each side. By using sweet potatoes, you avoid the high starch, yet still get to enjoy a crispy treat.

5 cups grated sweet potato

2 eggs

-
      
2 tablespoons onions, minced

-
      
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Salt and pepper to taste

-
      
Coconut oil for frying

Directions:

1.
   
Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.

2.
  
Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and melt a spoonful of coconut oil.

3.
  
Take a small amount of the potato mixture and drop it onto the hot griddle or skillet and form little cakes.

4.
  
Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, cooking until each side is golden brown and heated all the way through.

5.
   
Top the latkes with favorites like fried eggs and bacon if you wish.
