Directions

In one bowl, mix the sweet potato, parsnip, shallots, and ginger. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, brown sugar, cayenne, curry, cumin, salt and pepper), then add the eggs. Add only enough milk for the batter to be wet and sticky but not soupy (so, sticky but with slightly firm structure). Combine the batter and dry ingredients in the other bowl. You may need to bring it together using your hands. Drop 2 tablespoon sized dollops of the latkes into a preheated pan over medium heat, coated with Non-stick cooking spray. Fry on one side until browned. Turn over and fry on the other side. You may need to re-apply non-stick spray after each session of latkes. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain. Makes approximately 18-20 latkes.
