Sweet Potato Latkes

Ingredients

• 2
  
  large sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
  
• 1/2
  
  cup white flour
  
• 1
  
  teaspoon baking powder
  
• 
  
  dashes cayenne pepper
  
• 2
  
  teaspoons curry powder
  
• 1
  
  teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1/4
  
  teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 
  
  freshly ground black pepper
  
• 2
  
  eggs, beaten
  
• 1/4
  
  cup whole milk
  
• 1/4-1/2
  
  cups olive oil (for frying)
  
• 
  
  Sour cream
  

Directions

1. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, salt and black pepper. Add eggs and milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add grated potatoes and mix (the batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add a little more milk.).
2. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a large frying for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drop two heaping tablespoons of the potato batter into the hot pan and flatten down with the back of a spatula. Fry 4 to 5 pancakes at a time. Continue to cook over medium-high heat for several minutes until all of the pancakes are golden on each side. Place fried pancake onto a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream.
