- 2 small white onions
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 2 large)*

*Horseradish sauce for serving
Directions
These sweet potato latkes will cure your craving for potato pancakes... and then some. *Boil the sweet potatoes for up to 10 minutes, just until softened, but still firm, if they're too firm for the shredder.
- Caramelize Onions Chop the onion. Sauté in a skillet with soy sauce and brown sugar over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes, until onions are translucent. Set aside.
- Shred Potatoes Peel sweet potatoes and slice into pieces that fit into the Shredder's hopper. Use a coarse grater to shred the sweet potato.
- Assemble Potato Pancakes
- Whisk together the eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently mix together the shredded potatoes, onions, egg, flour, thyme, and brown sugar with a wooden spoon.
- Fry Potato Pancakes Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Place a large scoop of the pancake mixture into the center of the skillet. Use a flat spatula to flatten the pancake. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Allow to fry on each side 3-5 minutes, until browned. It's normal for the edges to look a little dark. Repeat for remaining pancakes.
Serve hot, with horseradish sauce.
