Weeknight Kitchen: Sweet Potato Latkes

Simple, simple, simple is this week's recipe from the charming vegetarian cookbook The Forest Feast by Erin Gleeson.
While sweet potatoes may feel like an autumn or beyond ingredient, you will find yourself smacking your own forehead in disbelief that you have not considered them for a quick summer dish on warm nights. We served these Sweet Potato Latkes atop a bed of vinegar-laced greens to great family approval.Grate 2 sweet potatoes (I don't bother peeling). 

Combine with:
 
4 beaten eggs
1 clove minced garlic
1 Tablespoon bread crumbs
Salt & Pepper
 
Fry:
 
3 Tablespoon heaps (forming patties) in a generous amount of olive oil until golden brown. About 3 min each side on med/high. Remove & drain on paper towels.
 
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt & a sprinkle of chopped scallions.
