Sweet Potato Latkes
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- 1/2 pound Yukon gold potato, (about 1 large)
- 1/2 pound sweet potato, (about 1 medium)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch cayenne
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Vegetable oil
- 4 teaspoons light sour cream
- 4 teaspoons beet or regular horseradish
- 2 to 3 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
- 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.
