Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds raw sweet potatoes
1/2 cup matzo meal
3 large eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
1/2 cup toasted pecans chopped

Instructions

Peel and grate the sweet potatoes into medium or small size pieces. You can use a food processor (which is my favorite way) or a box grater.
In a large bowl, add the grated sweet potato, eggs, and matzo meal. Mix to combine evenly.
Scoop out 1/4 cup amount or large ice cream scoop amount and press into a ball. Squeeze to stick tightly together.
Press lightly into a flat disc. Continue will the rest of the mixture. (Roughly 20 latkes)
Preheat air fryer to 350F. Air fry latkes for 6 minutes.
Flip and air fry another 5-8 minutes or until they are done and crispy on the outside.
While the sweet potato latkes are air frying, combine yogurt and vanilla paste. Mix to combine.
To serve, add a dollop of vanilla yogurt on the latkes and sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans. Enjoy!
