Happy Chanukah to all my fellow Members of the Tribe!

And here's my sweet potato latke recipe:

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & shredded, about 4 cups
2 eggs, beaten
1 onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

DIRECTIONS: Combine potato, eggs, onion & salt mixing well. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup potato mixture into the oil, flatten slightly to form a 4" patty. Cook 1 1/2-2 minutes per side or until each side is golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm, ideally with sour cream or gingered applesauce.

SERVINGS: 10
TIME: 20 minutes

We're off to a Chanukah party tonight, then will spend a lot of time tomorrow getting organized for our annual Chanukah party. We're sticking snowflake decals on all the windows...

Ooooh, sweet potato latkes? Never made them with sweet potatoes. Must try (although I don't count on their success, my latkes always turn out a greasy slimy gloppy soggy mess, sigh).

*eyes up the three sweet potatoes in the kitchen*

I know just what to do with YOU, my pretties. Latkes are one of my favorite things...

Thank you for sharing this!

If you don't mind me asking, what's the religious significance of the dish, if any? It certainly sounds absolutely gorgeous, though!

Enjoy both parties and peace for the days to come!

What a charming menorah! I back-engineered the image source, and looked at the webpage -- clever little site, and handsomely (if simply) designed.

Oh, that sounds like a *wonderful* recipe!

One question - are they actual sweet potatoes or yams?

Either way, I think I'm going to have to try this over the long New Year's weekend when I get back to Chicago.

Happy Hannuka!

Sweet potatoes. Yams are even drier, and they won't hold together.

Just wanted to add my Chanuka wishes to you, Heidi. Hope you enjoy your latkes (know I'm enjoying mine), and to the person who wanted to know the signifigance- it has to do with the fact that it's fried in oil and the miracle was oil lasting for one day, burning for eight.

Fellow Jewish LJ-er and HP person ; )

Happy Chanukah! The latkes I made this year actually had leeks instead of onions... it's interesting, and different.
