L.A.TIMES FOOD SECTION 11/94
Peel and rinse potato. Place in cold water until ready to grate to keep
from discoloring.
Grate sweet potato to equal 2 cups. Then transfer to large bowl. Add
eggs, salt and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Fold in raisins and almonds.
In large, heavy skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Drop
potato mixture by tablespoons into hot oil, flattening each spoonful with
back of spoon to form thin latke. Fry on both sides until golden brown and
crisp, about 3 minutes on each side.
Watch carefully because latkes brown quickly. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with sour cream and powdered sugar. Makes about 12 latkes.

Presented by: Judy Zeidler, L.A. Times article, "Eight Days of Latkes",
11/25/94, page H7.
"These latkes are family favorites. Frying the mixture on medium-low
heat gives the sweet potatoes a chance to become almost caramelized. Finish
frying on medium-high heat. They freeze well and can be crisped in the oven
before serving."

A Message from our Provider:
“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
