This recipe was adapted from This Organic Life, Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader
I highly recommend the book. The author, Joan Dye Gussow, offers thoughtful insights into the joys and ecological value of eating locally. For instance, the things that cost the most to ship are the heaviest, like fruits and vegetables that contain a lot of water. Coffee and cocoa, on the other hand, don't put such a drain on fossil fuels as they make their way, the long distances from where they're grown.

Curried Sweet Potato Latkes
In a large bowl mix together:
1/2 C whole wheat flour -preferably stone ground
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.
Add:
2 lg beaten eggs
1/2 cup (more or less) of milk (just enough to form a stiff batter)
1 lb. sweet potatoes , coarsely grated.
1 large red or yellow onion, grated.

Drop by spoonfuls onto preheated griddle or heavy frying pan with enough butter, coconut oil or lard to keep from sticking. Fry until golden brown on each side.
Enjoy!

Trying to understand Facebook, I'm thinking of it as a house. I often find myself wondering which room am I in and who is in here with me? I have two "houses" here, this one and a personal page, I invite you to visit them both, and just like everybody, would love some "likes".
