2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 		2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cheesecloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon. Mix well. Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375°F (190°C). Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot!
