Sweet Potato And Currant Latkes Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 medium sweet potatoes
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup dried currants
2 beaten eggs
1/3 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
1/4 TSP ground cinnamon
1/4 TSP ground cloves
⅛ TSP salt
2 TBSPs cooking oil
Applesauce, if desired

Recipe Instructions:

Peel and finely shred sweet potatoes.
You should have 3 cups.
In a small mixing bowl pour the boiling water over currants; let stand 5 minutes, then drain.
In a large mixing bowl combine beaten eggs, hazelnuts, the currants, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Stir in shredded potatoes.
Using 1/3 cup mixture for each latke, press mixture into patties about the size of the palm of your hand, squeezing out excess liquid.
Cook in 2 TBSPs cooking oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Reduce heat to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
Add additional oil as needed to prevent sticking when cooking remaining latkes.
Drain and serve with applesauce or other toppings, if desired.
