How to Make It
- Stir together the flour, sugars, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a smaller bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir till it is barely combined. Add the grated sweet potatoes to the mix and stir till evenly coated.
- Place a skillet over medium heat. Once it is heated, add 1⁄4 cup of the oil to the skillet.
- Once the oil has come to temperature, drop the potato mixture into the hot oil by the tablespoonful and flatten slightly. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.
- Place latkes on a wire rack over paper towels and let them drain. Sprinkle them while they’re hot with a dash of salt.
