Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled (2–3 potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (4–5 crackers)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate sweet potatoes. Place the shredded sweet potatoes in a cheese cloth or dish towel and squeeze out any excess liquid.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes, graham cracker, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon and salt together in a mixing bowl and stir until all of the sweet potatoes are covered.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a metal cooling rack. Check that the oil is hot enough by dropping a bit of latke batter into the pan and if bubbles form around the edges of the potatoes, the oil is ready. Tip: fry one latke first to make sure your oil is the correct temperature and it’s a good practice round so you don’t burn your latkes.
  4. Scoop the latke batter using a 1/4-cup measuring cup and squeeze out the latke of any liquid so you get a crunchy latke. Carefully drop the latkes into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side for a golden crust.
  5. Place the cooked latkes on the cooling rack and the oil will drip down onto the paper towels below. When all of the latkes are cooked, preheat the oven to broil and remove the paper towels from the baking sheet. Don’t forget this step or it will catch on fire in the oven! Place 4-5 mini marshmallows on top of each latke then broil the latkes for 1 minute to toast the marshmallows.
  6. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stir until smooth and drizzle the chocolate over the latkes. Top with any extra crushed graham crackers and eat!
