Sweet Potato Latkes with Loaded Chive Sour Cream

Latke

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1 yellow onion
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Avocado oil or grapeseed oil

Chive Sour Cream

• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup chives, freshly chopped
• ½ lemon, zested and juiced
• Kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions: In a bowl, add sour cream, chives, lemon juice and zest; season well with salt and black pepper. Keep in the fridge until it’s time to serve.

Directions

1. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and yellow onion. Transfer to a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. 
2. Place grated potatoes and onions in a bowl, and add the eggs, flour, baking powder and soy sauce. Season well with salt and black pepper and mix until combined. 
3. Heat a frying pan with the avocado or grapeseed oil. When the oil is hot, add a large spoonful of the mixture to the pan. Fry until golden, about 3–5 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the pancake and fry on the other side. 
4. Remove when it’s done and place on a paper towel. Season with salt. I like to keep the finished latkes warm in a 200°F oven while I make the remaining pancakes. Serve with the Chive Sour Cream.
