Ingredients  

For the latkes:

  • 1 large sweet potato - scrubbed well & grated on large holes
  • 1 20oz bag of shredded hash brown potatoes - I use Simply Potatoes
  • ½ cup scallions - sliced very thin
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoon Gluten Free Flour Blend with xanthan gum - I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour
  • 2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder - Use Indian style yellow or red curry, not Jamaican style
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Cilantro Lime Sour Cream

  • 1 8oz container sour cream
  • 1 lime - juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Latkes:

  • If baking, preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg and oil with a fork until well combined.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and stir well with the fork until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop packed mounds of the latke mixture onto the baking sheet about an inch apart.  Flatten the mounds to roughly form 3 inch round latkes. Try to keep the mixture packed together so that the latkes don’t fall apart while they cook.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them once about half way through. Or pan fry in enough oil to coat the bottom of a non-stick pan or cast iron pan completely.  Fry the latkes over high heat (365 degrees) until browned on each side (approximately 60-90 seconds each side).
  • Latkes can be kept warm in a 200 degree oven on a baking sheet until ready to serve. Serve with Cilantro Lime Sour Cream.
