In honor of Hanukkah I decided to make some latkes a few days ago.  Being a low-glycemic kind of guy, I fear white potatoes, so I went with sweet potatoes instead.  My kids went completely nuts for these.  They ate them way faster than I could cook them.  (I thought they were pretty good too.)

• 2 sweet potatoes (I got "yams" which are darker in color.  "Red garnet" maybe?), grated (I used the food processor).
• 1/2 an onion, grated
• 1/2 cup or so cottage cheese
• 3 eggs, beaten
• salt, pepper, and a little allspice
• 2 tbl. or so barley flour

Mix it all together and fry into pancakes.  I used unrefined peanut oil, which went well with the sweet potatoes.
