Ingredients - 4 *District Biscuit Co.* buttermilk biscuits, crumbled - 1 ½ cups cooked, mashed sweet potato (about 2 medium sweet potatoes) - 1 large egg - ¼ cup all-purpose flour - ½ tsp salt - ¼ tsp black pepper - ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth) - 2 tbsp vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying - Sour cream and chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions
1. **Prepare the Latke Mixture:** - In a large bowl, combine the crumbled *District Biscuit Co.* biscuits with the mashed sweet potato. - Add the egg, flour, salt, pepper, and cinnamon (if using), and mix until the ingredients are well combined and hold together. If the mixture feels too loose, add a little more flour.
2. **Form the Latkes:** - Use your hands to shape the mixture into small, flat patties, about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick.
3. **Fry the Latkes:** - In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. - Carefully place the latkes in the skillet, working in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. - Transfer the cooked latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
4. **Serve:** - Place the latkes on a serving platter. Top each with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives for a flavorful finish.
