Sweet Potato Latkes

INGREDIENTS
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS
1. Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again.
2. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet until very hot.
4. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the oil and flatten with the back of a spoon or spatula.
4. Fry, flipping once or twice, until crisp and brown on both sides.
5. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve hot with sour cream, lox or applesauce.
