  1. Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again.

  2. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon, mix well.

  3. Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot!

Recipe Note

Sweet potatoes make delicious fried treats for Hannukah! I like to add a little variety to the traditional latke spread.
