Celebrating Latkes Cookbook

THE SYLVIA CENTER’S SWEET POTATO MOLE LATKE Lime Cream and Pickled Jalapenos by The Sylvia Center

Latke: 2 large potatoes,

Preheat oven to 400F. Combine potatoes with onion in colander. Allow to drain. Whisk eggs and mole paste together in small bowl. Squeeze remaining liquid out of potatoes and onions. Transfer to bowl. Add egg mixture and flour, mix thoroughly. Heat two tablespoons of oil in pan. Add ¼ cup of mixture to the pan so it forms a pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding 1-2 tablespoons of oil with each batch. Place latkes on baking sheet and bake for 4-6 minutes. Combine crema with lime juice. Garnish latkes with crema, queso fresco, jalapenos and cilantro. Serve immediately.
