Today at work, meeting a potential donor: "When are you due? Yesterday?"
I'm adding it to my rapidly growing list of things never to say to a pregnant lady.
Spiced Sweet Potato Latkes with Chipotle Sour Cream
1 ½ pound sweet potatoes
1cup shredded onion
1/2 cup matzo meal
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pinches ground cloves
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chipotle, minced
Bake the sweet potatoes in an oven for one hour until soft or in the microwave 7-8 minutes until soft. Mash until almost smooth. Stir in shredded onion, matzo meal, eggs, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Heat a thin film of vegetable oil in a shallow skillet until hot but not smoking. Pan fry heaping-tablespoon sized dollops of sweet potato 2-3 minutes on a side over medium heat until golden brown. Meanwhile, mix sour cream with chipotle. Serve Spiced Sweet Potato Latkes with Chipotle Sour Cream. Yield: 20 pancakes
