Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium russet potato, peeled and shredded (about 10 ounces)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and shredded (about 1 pound)
1 whole egg plus 1 egg white
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
One 16-ounce container sour cream
Freshly torn fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the shredded potatoes to a bowl of water, stir to combine. Pour the potatoes over a wire mesh strainer and allow to drain.
  • Whisk the egg and egg white in a large glass mixing bowl until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Sift the flour, granulated garlic, cayenne and cinnamon into the egg. Add the chives. Sprinkle with 3 teaspoons each salt and black pepper; whisk until smooth. Fold in the sweet potato and potato, making sure the batter is thoroughly combined.
  • Set a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Working in small batches, drop about 3 tablespoons per latke into the skillet just before the oil begins to smoke. Flatten each slightly with a slotted metal spatula. Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet.
  • Crisp the latkes until the bottoms are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with the spatula and continue crisping the second side for about 6 minutes total. The latkes should be cooked through and a dark, golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnishing each latke center with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of torn parsley leaves.

I served these latkes with a dollop of sour cream and they were perfect. The sour cream helped to balance out the sweetness of the potatoes.

These latkes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sweet potatoes and chives complemented each other perfectly.
