Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
- Grate the onion on a box grater into a large bowl. Grate both potatoes into the same bowl, grating down the length of the potato to get long strands. Toss the potatoes with the onions as you work to keep them from discoloring. Put potato mixture in a clean dish towel and wring out excess liquid. Toss the latke mixture with the flour, salt, and cayenne. Stir in the egg.
- Heat a 1/4-inch oil in a large cast iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup of the latke mixture into the skillet, pressing lightly to form 3-inch pancakes. Take care not to overcrowd the pan. Cook, turning once, until just golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to the rack in the oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the latkes topped with a small dollop of sour cream and horseradish. Garnish with a parsley leaf. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Sweet Potato Selection: Choose firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes for the best texture in your latkes. Avoid overly large or misshapen ones as they may not cook evenly.
- Grating Technique: Use a food processor with a grating attachment or a handheld grater with a large hole size for coarse grating. This will give the latkes a fluffy texture.
- Seasoning: Don't be shy with the spices! A blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika adds a nice savory touch to balance the sweetness of the potatoes.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the latkes. This will help them crisp up nicely and prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
- Maple Sauce Consistency: For the perfect maple sauce, aim for a slightly thick consistency. If it's too runny, reduce it over low heat until it thickens slightly. If it's too thick, add a touch of water or maple syrup to loosen it up.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato latkes with maple sauce are a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and crispy flavors. By following these tips, you'll create perfect latkes every time.
