Paleo Latkes with Gabi Moskowitz

Paleo Latkes anyone?

Founder and author of brokeass gourmet, Gabi Moskowitz, shows me how to make Paleo Latkes. These are just about one of the yummiest things ever!

Ingredients:

1 lb garnet yams, grated (I like to leave the peel on)

1/2 medium onion

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Coconut or vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine grated yams, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Pour enough oil into a large nonstick or cast iron frying pan to come up to about 1/4 inch. Heat over medium-high heat until viscous. Form about 3 tbsp of sweet potato mixture into a ball and flatten it gently between your palms. Slide it into the oil, and repeat with the remaining mixture, working in batches, so as to leave room between the latkes as they cook. Drain cooked latkes on paper towels, and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
