Sheet Pan Sweet Potato Latkes
This recipe is a Hanukkah miracle: all your mouthwatering potato pancakes are done at the same time (no sweating over the skillet while they cook in small batches).
Ingredients
- 2½ pounds medium sweet potatoes, ~4 medium
- 1 medium onion
- ¼ cup matzo meal, or any flour*
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line a 12 x 17 standard baking sheet with parchment paper and generously mist the paper with olive oil spray (this is important to prevent sticking). Set aside.
- Scrub sweet potatoes and pat them dry, leaving the skin on. Cut them into chunks and shred in a food processor (alternatively, you can grate them using the largest hole of a box grater.) Transfer shreds to large bowl and drain out as much liquid as possible; press with paper towels or wrap in a cheesecloth.
- Shred the onions in the food processor (or use grater) and add them to the bowl with drained potatoes (no need to drain onions), along with the matzo meal, eggs, and seasonings. Remove any oversized large chunks you may find. Using your hands, mix the batter until everything is well combined (althoughits messy, you’ll need to use your hands for this batter!).
- Evenly distribute batter on the prepared baking sheet and slightly press down with your hands to compress. Generously mist the top with oil spray. Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. The inside will remain soft and tender, while the top and edges become firm and browned.
- Slice into 12 squares and enjoy with lite sour cream, apple sauce, or topping of choice.
