Sweet Potato Latkas

A few weeks ago, I posted a recipe for sweet potato hash browns and froze the remaining shredded sweet potatoes. I used those frozen sweet potatoes to create sweet potato latkas (potato pancakes).

4. Form sweet potato mixture into 4 patties. Put onto pan.

5. Cook 5-10 minutes, until browned and crispy. Flip.
