Potato Sweet Potato Latkes Fritters Recipes

POTATO SWEET POTATO LATKES - FRITTERS

Steps:

• Shred or grate your potatoes and onion. I use a hand grater for the potatoes and processor for sweet potatoes, you can also use a spiralizer. Add to a bowl, add a pinch of salt and mix. Then use paper towels to wrap the mixture and squeeze to remove the excess moisture.
• Add salt, 1/3 tsp black pepper, cayenne, starch and flour to the potatoes and mix in. The potatoes dont need much binding as they will cook and stick.
• Heat a cast iron or heavy bottom skillet over medium heat. Brush oil. Place spoonfuls of the mixture and press lightly and spread.
• Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes per side. If the potatoes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat a bit.
• Garnish with black pepper, salt, pepper flakes. Serve warm with vegan sour cream or apple sauce or other toppings.

KERRY'S SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.
