Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and grated on a box grater
1 tsp minced garlic
1 large shallot, minced (or use a sweet or red onion)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp smoked paprika (or chipotle pepper , something for a little smoke)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
salt and freshly ground pepper , to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
olive oil, for frying ( you could use any vegetable oil, but i personally like the flavor of the olive oil)
simple topping
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plain yogurt
minced fresh chives (or green onion tops)
pinch salt
dash pepper

Directions:

Place the grated potatoes, garlic and shallot in a large bowl. Add the baking powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Toss with your hands until well distributed. Add the flour and and eggs. Mix with a spoon until well combined.
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet until very hot (hot oil, less absorption into the food); when hot, add the latke by 1/3 cup full, flatten with a spatula. Allow to cook until brown (should take about 3 minutes per side, if it's cooking too fast, turn down the heat, too slow, turn it up); then flip and cook the other side. Work in batches, adding oil as needed to avoid overcrowding. Keep latke hot while making further batches by keeping on a cookie cooling rack set on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven.
Serve hot with a dollop of simple topping, if desired. (To make the simple topping, combine everything together, preferably in a bowl :-) )
