Low-Fat Sweet Potato Latkes

Loosely grate potatoes and onion in food processor and place in large mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs. Add flour and mix well.

In large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tbsp oil. Spoon out the batter into pan, being careful not to crowd--press into compact 3 inch pancakes. Cook 1 1/2 minutes per side. Keep finished pancakes warm in oven until all pancakes are fried, and add as little oil to pan as needed to keep pancakes from sticking. Bake pancakes at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, until golen brown. Turn over and bake 5 additional minutes. Serve while hot.

Makes approx. 4 servings.
