40 g flour (4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1.Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the sweet potatoes into large pieces and cook for about 20 minutes until soft. Drain and wait a few minutes. Pour out any extra liquid so the sweet potatoes stay juicy and easy to work with.

5. Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm. Every bite is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

✨ Winning tips for perfect sweet potato latkes

💦 Dry the sweet potatoes: This is the most important step. Make sure to drain the sweet potatoes well after cooking and remove all the extra liquid. The drier the mash, the crispier the latkes will be in the oven.

👅 Taste before baking: Don’t wait until they are done! After adding the flour and salt, taste a tiny bit of the mash and add more salt if needed.

🌶️ Easy flavor upgrades: To make it more interesting, you can add a little garlic powder or a pinch of cinnamon. It gives the latkes a great twist.

💥 Extra crunchy latkes: If you have an air fryer, this recipe works perfectly! If not, you can spray a little olive oil on the latkes before putting them in the oven to make them even crunchier.

❄️ Storing: You can make a double batch and keep the baked latkes in the fridge in an airtight container. When you want to eat, just reheat them in the oven or air fryer.

Serve these sweet potato latkes with a sour cream dip and enjoy every bite! Now you can just relax and enjoy.
