Sweet Potato-Chive Latkes
- 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
- 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.
