Yam, these are terrible latkes.

Adele was down on her luck with a lone yam in her cupboard and a dream of kuh-razy latkes in her heart! If Yentl was trying to up her fiber and Vitamin C intake, she would have made these sweet potato pancakes. But hers would have tasted a lot more Jewlicious. Without the cross-dressing and the sexism and the incessant tradition. Oye vey.

Peel the dang yam.

 There are some things that I would do differently. Like not make yamcakes. 


But do as I say, not as I do. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES YOUNG GRASSHOPPER!


I'm not even going to explain to you what is going on in these pics. If you can't figure it out, google sweet potato latkes and call me in the morning.


Above is the bowl of chopped carrots. LOL LOL LOL jay kay it's shredded yams.  ^_^ 


1 peeled and shredded yam, 1/2 finely chopped white onion.


Eggcellent egghibit of the eggredients for this reggcipe. What?

About dis much flour. 

Add some slug napalm and spicy bits of peppercorn. 

If it looks like this, throw it away and like go to Denny's. GAME OVER DUDE. 



But alas, in my naïveté (omg look at how fancy that word looks) I kept on cooking. I tested to see if the pan was hot enough by sacrificing this single yam shred. RIP lil guy.



I placed in medium high pan. 
The yam cakes kept yelling and each other and I was all like, GUYS! Fry to get along! 

This one was the instigator. He probably didn't get enough love or Gushers as a child. 


If it looks like there are scrambled eggs infecting your sorry excuse for religiously-infused yam pancakes, then look what you did ya little jerk. You have weird tasting yam patties. 


Too much egg and no more yams? Red cabbage substitute? Sure! Why not!

NOPE! Even weirder. 




Mazel freakin' tov.
